embark on a state-wide indefinite strike, as the 14day ultimatum given the state government by the Organized Labour in the state has since expired.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Labour had issued the two-week ultimatum which started on January 25th and has now ended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Kogi State Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Onuh Edoka had also lamented that the current administration in the state led by Governor Yahaya Bello has not added any value to workers since it came on board in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Edoka added that Governor Bello\u2019s administration refused to cashback on promotion arrears for workers and has continued to pay percentage salaries to Local Government workers, teachers and pensioners without considering the present economic hardship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Inside sources have told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebirareporters.com\">ebirareporters.com<\/a> that the union is now considering downing tools to press home their demands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The sources said the government has not made any cogent effort to prevent the workers from shutting down the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Recall that after the ultimatum was issued, <a href=\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/2022\/01\/23\/kogi-head-of-service-to-organized-labour-warning-letter-of-strike-is-uncalled-for-little-patience-is-what-is-needed\/\">the Head of Civil Service, Hannah Onyinoyi Odiyo said the warning was unnecessary, while urging for a little patience<\/a> on the issue of imolemsnrariom of minimum wage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Odiyo was however quiet on other matters raised, especially percentage salaries to Local Government workers, teachers and pensioners, with her body language tilting to <a href=\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/2022\/01\/27\/gov-bello-says-extensive-retrenchment-of-workers-is-solution-for-percentage-salaries-to-teachers-lg-workers\/\">the Governor&#8217;s anniversary statement that only extensive retrenchment would solve the problem.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Governor in the text of address to celebrate the second anniversary of his second term in office, said that the state&#8217;s cash-flow could not accommodate 100 percent salary payment to local government workers unless workers are further retrenched.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He said he could not consider the further retrenchment and would likely kick the problem to the next administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/2021\/11\/24\/teachers-in-kogi-earn-as-low-as-n6000-nut-chairman\/\">Primary school teachers, local government workers<\/a>
