The Borno state chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Bulama Abiso, has Wednesday called on the Borno state government to as a matter of importance pay compensation to the families of civil servants killed by Boko Haram insurgents in the past 10 years.
He also appealed to Governor Kashim Shettima not to hand over the liabilities of N21 billion outstanding entitlements of gratuities and pensions owed civil servants and the retirees to his successor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum.
He also called on the state government to expedite efforts in the implementation of the new N30,000 minimum wage to local government workers while calling on the state government to employ more workers to address unemployment and reduce Boko Haram crisis.
