Borno State Governor Professor Babagana Zulum has been applauded for directing the immediate release of salaries and pensions for payment to enable workers and retirees prepare early for Sallah celebrations.
The state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC), Comrade Bulama Abiso announced this on Friday in his message to workers and pensioners, shared online, said even though the month is just half way, the early payment is intended to prevent rush preparations that could expose workers to demand-triggered inflation in cost of food, clothing and services.
According to him, the NLC in Borno State is happy with Governor Zulum’s tradition of consistency in payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities of retired workers.
“The NLC is particularly happy with the Governor’s compassionate approvals for early release of salaries in the middle of December ahead of last Christmas, in the middle of April ahead of Ramadan and now at the middle of May ahead of Sallah.”
All of these, he said, show the Governor’s high degree of respect for workers and compassion for retirees, for which the NLC commend Governor Zulum and urged workers to rededicate themselves to lawful duties in the best interest of the public.
