Kebbi NLC Rejects Malami's Promises as Political Rhetoric
The Kebbi State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has dismissed promises made by Abubakar Malami, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Governorship Candidate, regarding workers' welfare as "baseless political statements." This response came after Malami's Independence Day broadcast, where he pledged to provide a "befitting Secretariat" and ensure prompt payment of workers' rights if elected governor in 2027. The NLC stated that Malami, who previously served as Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, failed to recognize the improvements in civil servants' conditions under the current administration of Governor Nasir Idris.
Governor Idris, in his message, acknowledged the support of Kebbi State residents and highlighted progress in various sectors. The NLC Chairman, Comrade Murtala Usman, emphasized that the union typically avoids political controversies but felt compelled to clarify misleading claims concerning workers.
He noted that the Idris administration had performed well in salary payments and recently settled over N7 billion in inherited arrears.
