NLC demands immediate promotion of workers

The Kano state chapter of Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) on Friday demanded the state government to implement outstanding promotions of civil servants.

Chairman of the Chapter, Kabiru Ado-Minjibir, made the request  when he led some members of the union to the office of the new Head of Service in the state.

According to him, the implementation of the promotions will boost the workers’ morale in their service to the state.

Ado, however, said the cause of systems failures, usually emerged from failure of implementation.

“The attendants scratch card and registration fee for shortlisted workers of N1,750 per worker is too exorbitant,” he said.

He also called for the immediate payment of outstanding arrears of salaries of staff of Secondary School Management Board as well as that of Cooperate Security Guards recruited in 2015.

In his response the new Head of Civil Service, Dr Kabiru Shehu, described the labour union as partners in progress.

He implored them to forward their requests in accordance with the laid down rules and regulations.

Shehu urged them to imbibe reading culture and to be computer literate in order to meet up with global challenges.
