President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday in Abuja expressed concern on the growing complaints and agitations by workers in states over unpaid salaries and allowances, inspite of interventions by the Federal Government.
Receiving a group of governors led by the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Abdul’Aziz Yari, at the State House, President Buhari said the plight of workers in the states need urgent attention as many could barely survive.“How can anyone go to bed and sleep soundly when workers have not been paid their salaries for months.
I actually wonder how the workers feed their families, pay their rents and even pay school fees for their children,’’ he said.President Buhari said the Federal Governmentand state executives would need to work closer together to ameliorate the situation of workers across the country.
