The organised labour, made up of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) in Borno state, Tuesday in Maiduguri, commended Governor Babagana Umara Zulum for last week’s release of N705 million to clear outstanding leave grant owed workers.
In a joint statement, signed by the chairman of the NLC, Comrade Yusuf Inuwa and TUC chairman, Comrade Babayo M. Hamma, the organised labour confirmed that workers received the leave grants last week.
The statement was issued after a Joint State Administrative Council meeting of the organised labour, which was held in Maiduguri.
Governor Zulum had Tuesday, 2nd August, 2022 approved the release of N705, 621, 166 to 9, 058 eligible civil servants across Borno state to clear outstanding leave grants for 2020 which was delayed due to some issues that needed to be sorted out.
While 2020 leave grant was delayed, Zulum had since approved the payment of the 2021 leave grant to the same workers.
