PDP Criticizes Gombe Government Over Tertiary Strike
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) issued a statement on Thursday through its Publicity Secretary, Abdulkadir Ahmad Dukku, condemning the Gombe State Government for its inaction regarding a strike initiated by the Joint Union of Gombe State Tertiary Institutions (JOUGTIN). The strike began after a 14-day ultimatum expired without government intervention.
The PDP holds Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya's administration responsible for the disruption of students' education and the worsening conditions for workers and families. The party criticized the government for neglecting the welfare of lecturers and staff while prioritizing financial support for Hausa Singers from another state.
The PDP emphasized that funds allocated to entertainment could have addressed JOUGTIN's legitimate demands, which include arrears from the 2019 N30,000 minimum wage and outstanding Earned Academic Allowances. The PDP urged the state government to engage with JOUGTIN to resolve these issues and prevent the strike from becoming indefinite.
