From Victor Akinkuolie, Ado-Ekiti
|
Organised labour unions in Ekiti State have urged the state government to immediately commence the payment of the seven months outstanding salaries owed the newly employed secondary school teachers employed in 2018, by the immediate past Governor Ayodele Fayose’s administration.

The workers also urged the state government to pay to its workforce without negotiation or delay the N30,000 minimum wage recently  signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Comrade Shola Adigun and his counterpart from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Olatunde Kolapo, gave the charge in Ado-Ekiti in separate addresses delivered during the 2019 May Day celebration in the state.
