Social critic, Comrade Usman Austin Okai, has tasked Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello to pay the state workforce their full salary in February 2022, along with the minimum wage promised them rather than contemplating otherwise.
Austin confirmed uring an interaction with the media, that Kogi government plans to pay a certain percentage of salary in February without the approved minimum wage.
He said they will be no justification paying state workers percentage salaries as it is being done at the local level in the last six years.
He urged the state workforce to resist this impending anomaly, saying if allowed, it will become a norm for the rest two years of Bello’s administration.
“Two years after the approval of national minimum wage, Kogi had enjoyed it on a promissory note, after it was painstakingly approved and now being reneged.’
Okai expressed worry about the position of workers union in the state, stating that their lukewarm attitudes was dangerous to Kogi workers’ welfare.
