workers of Imo State have appealed to Governor Hope Uzodimma to end their suffering by paying them the outstanding salaries.
They said the biting effects of the partial lockdown of the state occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic had worsened their plight.
In the address presented by the state chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress , Comrade Austin Chilakpu, the organised labour disclosed that workers primary and secondary schools in the state as well as those in nineteen parastatals and agencies were affected in the unpaid salaries. Chilakpu therefore called on Governor Uzodimma to direct the office of the Accountant General for the immediate release of the salaries of workers in the affected agencies and institutions, adding that the governor should direct the immediate payment of the April, 2020 to workers in the state to enable them cushion the effect of the continued of the lockdown.
This, he said, had been one of the contentious issues between the organised labour and the previous administrations, calling on the governor to direct the agencies and institutions concerned to pay the workers their deserved promotion arrears.
