Cross River Government is appealing to civil servants in the state to suspend the ongoing strike

    Speaking with newsmen in Calabar, the Secretary to the State Government, Tina Agbor, admonished the striking workers to consider the interest of the state and return to work, assuring that no staff would be victimised for embarking on strike.

   Agbor, who was accompanied by the State’s Head of Service, Ekpenyong Henshaw, said that in spite of dwindling monthly allocation accruing to the state from the federation account, the state government had remained committed in making workers’ welfare a priority.
   Rize FM recalls that on June 19, organised labour in Cross River state embarked on indefinite strike to protest non-payment of gratuities, release of promotion letters, among others.
