The National President, Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, Ambali Olatunji, on Monday, demanded an upward review of workers’ salaries by 300 per cent to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
Olatunji also canvassed that a single institution be made to fix the salaries of workers and those of political office-holders to ensure parity since everybody patronises the same market in the country.
The labour leader, who spoke in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, during the inauguration of NULGE Hotels and Suites, also called for the immediate implementation of the Orosanye Report to reduce the cost of governance, which, he lamented, was too high. He said, “The government should review the Orosanye Report and restructure the MDAs so that at the end of the day, we cut down the cost of governance. Not only that, the retinue of aides should be cut down, and the salaries and wages of the political office-holders should be reviewed downward.
