Reacting to the Local Government workers warfare in the State, Karamu, appreciates the efforts of governor Darius Ishaku for keeping to his campaign promises by paying the Local Government workers in the State not just monthly but also promptly.

He said Local Government workers in the State do enjoy monthly salaries unlike other States of the federation where Local Government workers are been owed for several months.

“We are working happily here in the State because our wages are been paid monthly and promptly, the Governor came and inherited two months salary areas from the previous government.”

“The Governor since his assumption in office did not owe Local Government workers, the two months salaries was an arrear from the past government which we believe he soon pay to the workers.”

“Our plea with him now is to try his best and clear the two months arrears so that workers will laugh more, he has promised recently that he was going to pay and we also have the trust that he will pay the two months arrears as earlier promised.”
