PAEDIA EXPRESS WRITES NIGERIA'S LABOUR

 UNIONISTS OVER YEARS OF UNPAID SALARIES AND PENSIONS

The President,

Nigerian Labour Congress,

Abuja,Nigeria

Dear Sir,

WWHAT REMAINED OF A ONCE VIBRANT LABOUR BODY IN NIGERIA,SOME SAY IT IS NOW AN UNOFFICIAL GOVERNMENT MINISTRY

         i pray and do hope that this letter meets you well sir,i  am writing you in  a last ditch effort at making somebody in Nigeria do all that it can at making sure that the backlog of unpaid salaries and pensions nationwide becomes a thing of the past .

As at the last count ,only amiable and God fearing Governor,Mr Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State would appear to be good enough in this regards as the remaining 35 Governors are said to be found wanting.

In Kogi state of Nigeria where i come from ,The Governor,Alhaji Yahaya Bello is said to be so inhumane that aside from owning the workers 24 months' salary ,also has the habit of throwing raw cash at the people he governs in the streets and focusing on mundane issues like gifting out cars to his core loyalists instead of performing one of the primary tasks for which he was elected into office in the first place :payment of workers' salaries and pensions/gratuity amongst other forms of emoluments.

To make matters worse he runs a highly oiled and organized militia group hence nobody can call him to order as he does as he pleases just like a gangster.

Please sir,can you use your good position to work with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria and your respective state chapters excluding that of Lagos state and making sure that all the Governments of the 35 states that have not being paying salaries and pensions are sued to a law court of competent jurisdiction afterall it is the Governors that enjoy immunity the state governments do not have any form of immunity to the best of my knowledge..

This has become vital in the light of the recent revelations that President Muhammadu Buhari had so far ordered at least 1.9trillion dollars to be released to them via the Paris Club disbursements on at least three different occasions

Using Kogi state  as a case study ,a lot of people have died due to the pains and agony they were exposed to as a result of the inability to collect what they had duly worked for  .

Just last week i wrote the office of the Director General of the International Labor Organization on the same subject ,hence treat this issue very speedily as a lot of lives and mouth are at stake.

Thanks,

Yours Faithfully,

Abdulmumini Adeku.
