 Rivers Govt Approves March Salary For Civil Servants, Suspended Appointees


The Rivers State Government has approved the payment of March salaries for all civil servants, public servants, pensioners, and suspended political appointees. This directive was issued by the state's Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas.


The approval comes amid growing concerns from labor unions, particularly the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which had recently threatened industrial action over salary delays. The NLC had warned that continued non-payment of wages could result in a statewide shutdown of government activities.


However, with this latest development, tensions between the government and labor unions are expected to ease. The Accountant-General has been instructed to ensure that the salaries are remitted without delay, according to a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika.
