Plateau Workers Look Beyond Projects, Hail Mutfwang Over Prompt Payment Of Salaries, Pensions

Beyond imprints he has made in infrastructure, project delivery, and reshaping of the state into an agricultural landscape, workers in Plateau are not unmindful of the prompt payment of salaries and pensions that were once forgotten

Plateau workers under the aegis of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JPSNC), have commended Gov. Caleb Mutfwang over prompt payment of their salaries, pension and gratuities of retirees.

Mr Fwenfak Daniel, Chairman of the council, gave the commendation after its congress on Thursday in Jos.

Daniel further commended the governor for the enhanced healthcare and social benefits, provision of conducive working environment and the promotion of career development and progression for workers.

”These initiatives demonstrate the governor’s dedication and commitment to the wellbeing of the civil servants and recognition of their vital role toward the development of the state.

”We pledge our support and cooperation to his bid toward improving the living condition of all workers in the state,” Daniel pledged.

He chairman, however, called on the governor to ensure upward review of all benefits, provide opportunities for trainings and capacity building for workers and ensure implementation of the new minimum wage.

He also appealed to the governor to establish a finance institution that would provide access to affordable financial services toward improving the general well-being of employees in the state.

Daniel, however, called on workers in the state to explore alternative means of livelihood, adding that such move would reduce over dependence on monthly pay. (NAN)
