The FCT branch of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in the FCT to pay its area councils’ staff arrears and other allowances.
The union said it would not hesitate to shut down government activities across the six area councils after the ultimatum elapsed without the council chairmen meeting their demands.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the emergency State Executive Council (SEC) meeting of the union which was held at the state secretariat in Gwagwalada, the union urged the six area council chairmen to pay all the outstanding allowances of its staff.
The union in the communiqué signed by the FCT branch President of NULGE, Comrade Mohammed Ibrahim Kabi, said despite having written several mails and interfaces with ALGON, the council chairmen failed to implement the 40 per cent Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) and the 25 Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS), as well as federal government 35 per cent palliative for FCT area council’s unified staff.
