Strike Looms As Niger Slashes Workers Salaries
~1.6 mins read
Niger has commenced payment of November salaries on percentage to civil servants in the state.

The action was despite the ongoing negotiations between the Organised Labour and Government over the issue.

Civil servants across Niger confirmed to The Nation the receipts of 50 to 70 per cent of their expected wages.

The Niger Organised Labour has vowed to resume the suspended indefinite strike action on Tuesday 1st December.
The Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Tanimu Yunusa described the action of the government as callous and without human feeling.
What the government has done is unacceptable. But our standstill remains. We foresaw this coming and we warned them against it but they went ahead with their plan.

They do not have human feeling. This government has money, they have lots of money but just want to victimize us, the workers in the state,” he said.

He said it is disappointing that despite talks and negotiations ongoing regarding the salary cut, the government went ahead adamantly to pay the salaries of workers on a percentage basis.

Yunusa stated that the government has been depending on the Federal allocation but are silent on the Internally Generated Revenue in the state.
Some civil servants, told The Nation the action of the government shows it does not appreciate their contributions to the development of the state.

One of the Civil servants, Bello Ibrahim, said that this action by the government is an affront on the state civil servants saying that Labour and all the workforce IJ Niger state need to rise to condemn the ugly posture of the government.

It is wrong for the Niger state government to effect payment of salaries in percentage while engagement on issues relating to it is ongoing. It is no doubt that the government is out to provoke the organized Labour in the state. We must rise to condemn this ugly posture of the government.”

Another worker, Yusuf Ahmed, said the government is inconsiderate, wondering the workers can survive when food prices in the market are on the increase.

For the past few weeks or even months, the cases of Covid-19 keep increasing and people seem not to care about it anymore. Early February, the Federal government took necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the diseases.

According to this writer, all banks, roads, churches, mosques, and schools should be closed by Buhari as from monday due to certain circumstances which I will discuss below.
The effect of the virus should not be underestimated and neccesary precautions should be taken by people. As at today, 67,220 cases have been confirmed with 62,686 discharged patients, totalling 1,171 death patients. Therefore, all economic activities should be closed by Buhari as the cases of the virus keep increasing per day.

If the government count the virus as a minor matter, there is big probability that the virus will spread to a larger amount of citizens which won't be good. Never forget that prevention is better than cure. If we can also follow the guidelines against Covid 19 spread, I believe the virus will be defeated and no cases will be heard of again.
Thanks for reading, don't forget to also drop your own opinion.
