Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River
State has ordered that no civil servant who participates in the ongoing
industrial action organised by labour be paid June 2017 salary.
He has directed the Commissioner for
Finance, Head of Service and Accountant General to immediately commence the
process of paying only workers that did not participate in the strike, now in
its second week.
A statement by the Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Christian Ita,
said the governor expects the salaries to be paid soon.
However, labour leaders said there
was no amount of threat by the governor that can deter the workers,
insisting that they were not calling off the strike until pensions, gratuity
arrears, and promotions were implemented at all levels.
