Following the disagreement between Bayelsa state Government and its workforce on the exact outstanding salary arrears owed civil servants in the state.
The workers claimed that they were being owed six months’ salary backlog, while government officials put the arrears at three months.
Reacting to the development, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seriake Dickson denied in a statement that the government is owing workers for six months, saying it is only three months.
The statement restated the governor’s commitment to running a transparent system, where the welfare of workers and the citizenry remains a priority.
However, Chairman of Bayelsa chapter of the Trade Union Congress, TariDounana and his Nigeria Labour Congress counterpart, John Ndiomu, insisted that the government is owing the workers six months salary.
