4

Kano State Government has set up a committee to interface with Coalition of labour unions in the state over a 14-day ultimatum to the state government to refund what they described as “illegal deduction” from their May 2020 salaries.

Kano State Chairman of Nigerian Labour Congress, Comrade Kabiru Ado Minjibir announced the establishment of the committee on a Freedom Radio program, monitored by Solacebase on Sunday.

Comrade Kabiru Ado Minjibir said the ultimatum was issued to the state government on Wednesday and on Friday, the state government had a meeting with the unions and the committee headed by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji.

Although labour had insisted that failure of the government to return the deduction before the end of its ultimatum, which begins on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, workers would embark on seven days warning strike from Monday, June 15.

After an emergency meeting in Kano last Wednesday, Kano state chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Kabiru Minjibir, expressed disappointment over the action of the state government, which he declared a clear violation of the agreement on the new wage law of 2019.

The unions are demanding occupational safety incentives, hazard allowance and life insurance from the government for health workers who incidentally contracted the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while rendering service to patients.

The NLC also demanded immediate payment of April to November 2019 salary arrears to all categories of civil servants in the state according to the agreement government reached with Joint Negotiation Council (JNC) in December 2019 on consequential adjustment.

The Kano NLC Chairman while speaking during the program on Freedom Radio, added that the meeting with the state government is scheduled to commence this week.
