The National Industrial Court in Kano has adjourned to the 19th of March 2018 for the presentation of further report on the settlement of unpaid salaries of 610 local government staff who had filed a suit before it challenging the Katsina State Government for not paying them their 18 months’ salary.
The counsel representing the complainants, Hadiza Suleiman, acknowledged before the court that that the settlement processes were on.
Hadiza told Daily Trust that they had been following the settlement processes that would ensure the payment of salaries of the local government staff, adding that if the processes failed they would legally follow the case to a logical conclusion.
In October 2017, 610 local government staff filed a suit challenging Katsina government for refusing to pay them their 18 months’ salary before Justice E.D.E Isele of the National Industrial Court in Kano seeking payment.
It was also gathered that the Katsina State government had already commenced payment of the salaries of the affected local government staff as part of the agreed settlement processes.
The Presiding Judge, Justice E.D.E Isele, however, adjourned the case for further presentation of the report on the settlement proceedings.
