MAY DAY: SOME BORNO PENSIONERS STILL EARN N4,000 MONTHLY – NLC
The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in Borno State has stated that some retirees in the state were still being paid N4,000 monthly as pension.
This was disclosed by the NLC Chairman in the state, Yusuf Inuwa, in an address to mark the 2024 May Day celebration, on Wednesday in Maiduguri.
He, therefore, advocated for an upward review of the pension to improve the social and economic well-being of retirees.
“Your Excellency, we wish to table before you that at this moment there are some pensioners who are still receiving N4,000 as pension per month which is grossly inadequate.
“We, therefore, pray for His Excellency’s intervention for upward review of the monthly pension”, Inuwa pleaded.
He also called for the implementation of the national minimum wage, payment of outstanding leave and transport grants to local government employees in the state.
The NLC chairman, who noted the commitment of the workers towards the transformation agenda of the state government, lauded the Babagana Zulum administration for the feat achieved in the area of workers’ welfare.
Also, the State Chairman of the Trade Union Congress, TUC, Babayo Hamma, urged the state government to adopt the minimum wage approved by the Federal Government.
The state Deputy Governor, Umar Kadafur lauded the harmonious relationship between labour and the state government.
Kadafur, who listed some of the training opportunities provided for the workers including the N2 billion free interest facility, reiterated the government’s commitment to the welfare and training of workers.
