workers in Delta State will be breathing a
sign of relief as Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has pledged to use all the
second tranche of the Paris loan refund to offset part of the 14 months’ salary
arrears owed local government workers in the state.
Making the promise during a meeting
with the national leadership of Nigeria Union of Local Government
Employees, NULGE at the Government House in Asaba, when the union led by its
President, Comrade Ibraheem Khaleel, took its local government autonomy sensitisation
campaign to Delta State, the Governor also assured the association of his 100
per cent commitment to the attainment of local government autonomy.
Governor Okowa however advised NULGE
leadership to put in place a working committee that will go round the country
and interact with the governors and speakers of states Assembly.
