The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Rivers Chapter, has commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara for authorizing the immediate promotion of Local Government workers with full financial benefits.
Clifford Paul, the state President of the union, expressed appreciation for the governor’s decision during a meeting with NULGE leadership and principal officers of the Local Government Councils at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
Governor Fubara also endorsed the immediate implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage for Local Government workers, a move hailed by the union as a significant step towards improving the welfare of employees.
“The governor also approved the immediate implementation of the N35,000 wage award approved by the Federal Government to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy in the country.
“We commend the governor for the inclusion of NULGE in the Local Government Pensions Board, as provided by law.
“We also commend him for the implementation of a consolidated salary structure for Local Government workers retiring at grade level 17,” Mr Paul added.
He pledged the loyalty, cooperation, solidarity and support of the local government workers to Fubara-led government.
