DON'T PROTEST OVER UNPAID WAGES; KANO STATE GOVT WARNS WORKERS

In a statement signed by Mustapha Fagge,
Public Relations Officer, Office of the Head of
Service, Kano state, civil servants in the state
who are yet to be paid have been warned not
to stage protests.
“The attention of the office of the Head
of Service has been drawn to a text
message being sent through social
media to workers who have not received
their salary.
“The message calls on the workers to assemble
at Audu Bako Secretariat on Friday, Sept. 23 in
order to protest,” the statement said.
While urging the workers to disregard the text
message, it said that security agents had been
alerted to deal ruthlessly with any person or
group that participated in the illegal protest.
The statement also disclosed that those
sending the text message were workers who
had perpetrated fraud in the payment of
salaries over the years.
It explained that all issues of unpaid salaries or
outstanding salaries were with the Ministry of
Finance receiving attention.
“We are calling on affected workers to channel
their complaints or grievances through their
respective ministries, departments and
agencies, MDAs.
“This is the proper way as contained in the Civil
service rules”, the statement added.
