The Nasarawa State Government says it will use pay June salary using the attendance register to isolate workers who are not participating in the ongoing workers’ strike in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued after an emergency expanded State Executive Council meeting presided over by the Governor, Abdullahi Sule, at the weekend
Workers in Nasarawa State embarked on strike on June 15, 2021 to demand for outstanding promotions and other issues.
The Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, Musa Dangana, who read the resolution, said: “The government maintains its stand on the ‘no work no pay’ order.”
In a statement, Dangana said, however, the state government is open to discussion with labour.
The state government activated the no-work-no-pay following the refusal of the organised labour to sign a memorandum of action for the implementation of outstanding promotions and other issues raised by the unions.
Dangana said: “Having appraised the situation and the negative tendencies it portends to the vision and mission of the present administration in meeting the yearnings and aspirations of the people, the meeting resolved as follows.
“That government maintains its stand on the No-Work-No-Pay order. Accordingly, salaries for the month of June, 2021 shall be paid based on the attendance registers. Therefore, willing workers are enjoined to resume duties immediately;
“That ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) should submit valid attendance registers for the month of June, 2021 to the office of the head of service through their permanent secretaries or chief executive officers.”
