60% SALARY SHOULD BE REJECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF KOGI STATE

It could be recalled that during the week the government of kogi State under the leadership of Capt. Idris Wada announced the commencement of 60% salary to workers of grade level 07 and above in the state, with reasons that there had been reduction in the statutory allocation from the federal account.
The Centre for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution (CHRCR) has condemned this uncharitable adverse measure. In a statement signed by the Executive Director of the Organization Idris Miliki Abdul, He said

"We feel this as unacceptable, condemnable and uncalled for. this is a government who also has not been paying full salaries to the local government workers despite the fact that as today there are no democratically elected local government councils as provided by the constitution, thus the question is were are the salaries of the local government chairman and their councillors? The government has also stopped paying WAEC fees for Kogi Students without justification. for a government who has failed to pay exam fees for its students, be able to offer scholarships and meaningful employment to its citizens? has the governor reduced his own salaries and allowances by the same percentage (60%)? Has the Governor reduced the wastages and corruption associated with his government? what does  a government live for when it can not provide for the welfare and security of its citizens as provided by the constitution? what is the Governor doing with the numerous political appointees who have no functions and schedules but collect salaries and allowances at the end of every month? why is this non performing government not carrying the workers and the people of the state along before taking such illegal and unilateral decision.
we call on the workers to out rightly reject this latest antic of Cpt Idris Ichalla Wada adminstration and fight it with all legitimate and legal means, as they have nothing to loose than to break the chain of opression as being perpetuated by the current administration in Kogi State. This is a government that has misplaced its priorities by embarking on frivolous unsustainable projects that has no immediate benefit to the people of the state
we make bold to say that this government has failed in all ramification and should be rejected.
