Tension heightening in states over unpaid June salaries –NLC
The inability to pay June salaries of government workers is generating tension and agitation across the various states of the federation, the Nigeria Labour Congress has stated.
This followed the deadlocked meetings of the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee over the shortfall in revenue remitted by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to the federation account.
The NLC Secretary-General, Peter Ozo-Eson, informed SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday that the situation was putting the states under stress because the FAAC was their main source of revenue through which they meet their financial obligations.
He disclosed that state chairmen of NLC had been calling the labour centre to complain about the delayed salaries.
