Members of the rganized labour in Kogu State have reportedly called of their over two months strike over unpaid salaries.
The workers last year December 23 embarked on indefinite strike over accumulated salary arrears owed them by the administration of ex-governor Idris Wada.
The workers who are currently owed four months’ salary were Tuesday commended by the new governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, for calling off their strike.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Abdulkarim Abdulmalik, in a statement issued Tuesday in Lokoja, said he thanked labour leaders for shelving their industrial action.
The governor, he said, commended the organized labour for calling off their industrial action which commenced prior to his inauguration.
He said that their decision to repudiate the strike was borne out of their confidence in his government.
The governor expressed regret over what he described as the pathetic situation of the workers who are being owed several months’ salaries, saying his government will look into the issue dispassionately with a view to finding a permanent solution to it.
He assured civil servants in the state of the readiness of his government to build an iron-cast relationship with labour in order to deliver good governance to the people of the state and give hope to all Kogites.
