The NLC had on Monday May 8 directed members to proceed on indefinite strike after deliberating on the plethora of problem workers and pensioner are facing in the state.
Barr Chris
Ezem, Secretary to the Government, in a statement on Friday said despite the
current challenges facing the state government, the governor had directed the
office of the Accountant General to commence payment of salaries to ministries
and parastatals from today Friday May 12, 2023.
According to
the statement, the protracted court order freezing the various accounts of the
state government affected the payment of salaries for the months of March and
April 2023.
Ezem noted
that no core ministry or civil servant is owed salaries before now, adding that
salaries of local government staff are also up to date except for the inherited
5 months arrears out of which it had paid 3 months.
The
government has however directed the local government authorities to commence
immediate payment payment of salaries of health workers across the 17 LGAs.
He,
therefore, called on all the affected staff to resume.
