Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC), Kogi State Chapter has raised alarm over news making the round that Kogi State Government paid workers their full salaries for the month of February.<\/p>\n

NLC, while reacting to some media report credited to the State Chairman, Onuh Edoka, that Kogi State workers were not paid percentage salaries in February said the mission of the report is to set the workers of the state against the leadership of the organised Labour.<\/p>\n

Describing the report of full payment of salaries to workers as fake, the organized labour in a statement sent to DAILY POST on Tuesday, noted that the NLC chairman did not grant any interview or issue a press statement to any media houses telling the world that, Kogi State Government paid full salary to workers.<\/p>\n

Paul Omale on behalf of the NLC in the statement said the organised Labour in the state was amazed at how some reputable media houses could be used to publish such an untrue and misleading story.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cOn the issue of the percentage salaries paid in the month of February, the State Government, through the Commissioner for Finance, Asiwaju Ashiru issued a press statement to explain what necessitated the payment of February salary in percentages with a promise that the balance will be paid in the preceding month for state civil servants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Local Government councils also paid percentages to workers at that level. How can the NLC chairman, Edoka turn around to confirm that no percentage salary was paid when the government had through a press release by the Commissioner for Finance offered an explanation for the percentage salaries paid in the state\u201d.<\/p>\n

He, however, called on the workers of the state to ignore the publication as it was done by mischief makers to cause disaffection between the workforce and the leadership of the organised Labour in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to advise media houses in the country not to throw the ethics of journalism to the dogs, a situation where nearly all the leading national dailies in the country published a fake story at the same time for whatever pecuniary reasons is most unfortunate\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
