An appeal to Governor Bala Mohammed

I would like to draw the attention of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Bauchi State, Sen. Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir on the issue of the unpaid salaries of some civil servants in the state.

Your Excellency, you need to first and foremost look into the positive impact of the civil servants on the development of our noble state.

• Attacks on Fulani: Act now before we lose Nigeria, Tofa tells Buhari
• No ethnic group should lord it over others — Gbajabiamila

It is unfortunate to note that at this trying time of economic hardship, there are some workers in the state whose names are exempted from the state’s payroll. This has clearly shown that an old voucher is being used instead of using the said updated one.

It is so disheartening that a state where 90 per cent of the population depends on salary for sustenance is experiencing this unending salary issue.

Sir, how are these people expected to live a comfortable life considering the fact that our state is not among the robust revenue-generating states in Nigeria?

With all due respect, I would like to plead with you Sir, to look into this situation and do the needful. State workers are suffering. They need your intervention.
