The union leaders called on the governor to also pay the remaining workers who had not received their salaries.
chapters of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress have commended the government for paying salary arrears of civil servants.
In a press statement signed by the chairpersons of the two unions, Sani Halliru and Saidu Mudi , on Saturday, the unions noted that the failure of the last administration to pay salaries and pensions for three months created hardship and uncertainty among workers and their families. “On behalf of the Zamfara State civil servants, the two labour unions wish to express their appreciation and gratitude to Zamfara State Government under the able leadership of Governor Dauda Lawal for the payment of April and May 2023 salaries.
“In what can be termed as responsible leadership, in less than a month of taking over affairs of the state, the present administration of Dr Dauda Lawal has salvaged the workers by paying the backlog salaries,” the statement said.Messrs Halliru and Mudi said the government should endeavour to pay salaries on time henceforth.
“We also wish to call on the state government to ensure timely payment of workers’ salaries as well as pensions and other welfare packages for effective service delivery,” the statement added.
