Covid-19 Palliative: Niger LG Workers, Teachers Forfeit 20% of March Salaries
Local government workers and primary school teachers have forfeited 20 per cent of their March 2020 salaries to their various local government councils for the purchase of materials to be shared as palliatives to the rural dwellers.
It was learnt that the shortfall in the total amount accrue able to the councils also necessitated the forfeiture of part of the workers’ salaries. It was at this stage, it was gathered, that the meeting agreed that only 80 per cent of salaries should be paid to workers with part of the agreement also being to first pay the 20 per cent before any deduction during the April disbursement.
The petition jointly signed by the Principal Administrative Secretary Labaran Garba and the state Chairman Ibrahim Umar also took exception to the template used to pay teachers which it said violated the principle of the agreement government and labour signed.
