UNPAID SALARIES - EDO NLC THREATENS GOVERNOR ADAMS OSHIOMOLE

The Nigerian Labour congress  in Edo state have threatened to go on strike, if the State government refuse to pay their salaries.The state NLC gave the ultimatum when thousands of aggrieved local government employees marched to the union’s state secretariat along James Watts Street, off Mission Road in the Benin City, the state capital.

The aggrieved employees have been on a month-long protest over the non-payment of their salaries by 14 out of the 18 councils in the state.

The union had in several protests lamented that many of the workers were owned between one to eight months.

It is interesting to note that Governor Adams Oshiomole  became a household name in Nigeria while he was the NLC chairman. He used to fight for them. Now he is owing them!
