The Gombe State chapter of the NLC yesterday called on Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo to pay the accumulated gratuity to hundreds of pensioners that retired from service.
Speaking at the 2019 May Day celebration held at the Pantami Township Stadium, the state chairman of the NLC, Comrade Mohammed Adamu Musa, said the union was compelled to call the attention of the state government to address the lingering issue of gratuity payment.
He further urged the government to reinstate workers who were found not guilty of committing any offense and cleared by the state staff verification committee.
He said the NLC would continue to struggle for the implementation of the N30, 000 minimum wage in the state as soon as the circular is released.
Governor Dankwambo, represented by his deputy, said the government would soon engage the leaders of the NLC on the implementation of the new minimum wage.
