LOCAL government workers in Kogi State on Sunday lauded the state government for its decision to increase their monthly percentage salary from 30 per cent to 54 per cent.
The workers under the aegis of the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria ( MHWUN), Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees ( NULGE) said this in a statement jointly issued in Lokoja, the state capital.
The state chairman of MHWUN, Mr Onu Edoka, Mr Tade Adeyemi of NULGE and Mr Thomas Ayodele of NUT signed on behalf of their unions.
They, however, urged government to continue the gesture until 100 per cent salary payment is regularised.
According to the workers, the decision to raise the bar was commendable and noted with satisfaction, asking the government to take cognizance of the percentages of salary yet to be paid.

Once Adolf Hitler, came to one meeting with a live chicken. He started to pluck its feathers one by one off.
The chicken quacked in pain, blood oozing from its pores. It gave out heartbreaking cries but Hitler continued without remorse plucking feather after feather until the chicken was completely naked. After that, he threw the chicken on the ground and from his pockets, took out some chicken feed and started to throw it at the poor creature. It started eating and as he walked away, the chicken followed him and sat at his feet feeding from his hand.
Hitler then told members of his party “This chicken represents the people, you must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up and leave them. If you do this and then give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life. They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, it is you who brought them to that situation in the first place.”
Does this sound familiar in Nigeria?
