23 STATES CURRENTLY OWING WORKERS' SALARIES AND NUMBER OF MONTHS BEING OWED.

According to reports from NULGE, 23 states of the federation currently owe local government workers’ arrears of salary, ranging from one to 16 months. Ibrahim Khaleel, the national president of the union, stated this in a statement issued on Monday, June 26, in Abuja. According to Vanguard, Mr Khaleel said that Bayelsa state is owing local council workers the most with between 10 and 16 months unpaid. Below is the full list of states and amounts they owe compiled by NAIJ.com:

1. Bayelsa - Between 10-16 months

2. Kogi - Between 7-15 months

3. Delta - Between 8-14 months

4. Kaduna - 12 months


5. Oyo - 3-11 months

6. Edo - 10 months

7. Abia - 5-9 months

8. Kwara - 2-9 months

9. Benue - 9 months

10. Nasarawa - 7 months

11. Ondo - 6 months

12. Ekiti - 6 months

13. Imo - 6 months

14. Zamfara (Has not started implementing minimum wage)

15. Adamawa - 4 months

16. Rivers - 4 months

17. Akwa Ibom - 4 months

18. Ebonyi - 4 months

19. Plateau - 4 months

20. Taraba - 3 months

21. FCT, Abuja - 3 months

22. Cross River ( 700 staff members are owed between one and three months)

23. Ogun (Has not also remitted its deduction for seven months)

Mr. Khaleel called on the governors of the states to offset the salaries and other allowances of local government workers with the second tranche of the Paris Loan Refund released to them. According to him, failure to do so, would make the union mobilize and shut down all local government councils in the country. “We want to state in strong term that no governor should either divert or tamper with the fund. This should be an avenue where the backlog of arrears of salaries owed the local government workers and some other welfare packages should be settled. “Such as leave bonus, arrears of promotion benefits, arrears of annual increment and non-implementation of minimum wage most especially in Zamfara State are resolved and paid. “We, therefore, use this medium to appeal passionately to the state governors to use this second tranche of Paris club loan refund to clear the backlog of arrears of outstanding salaries,” he said.

He added that the union will not tolerate a situation where any state governor will hide under any guise to deny local government workers their legitimate salaries and allowances.

Kola Abiola, the eldest son of Late Chief MKO Abiola, has finally spoken on his alleged marriage to Aisha Babangida, the eldest daughter of Nigeria’s former Military President Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB). IBB and MKO Abiola were friends until the latter contested and won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, but the former would later cancel the election. Their relationship went sour, but before the annulment, Kola and Aisha were allegedly dating. At a time, it was speculated that they secretly got married. Rumour-mongers said the marriage failed after IBB annulled the election of MKO Abiola, which the late business mogul convincingly won under the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
