The Kwara State Government yesterday stated that at least ninety-seven per cent of all the state government’s eighteen thousand four hundred and sixty-six employees have been paid their November salaries and bonuses.
The state Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Hauwa Nuru, made this known in a statement where she noted that the outstanding 4.5 per cent who have not received their November pay are those who are yet to register for the State Resident Registration Agency as was directed by the government since July 2024 or those with other pending issues.
It will be recalled that the leadership of the state Council of the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) pleaded with the state government to release the withheld November 2024 salaries of its members across the 16 local government areas of the state.
