Pay workers’ salaries before Christmas, Buhari tells governors

President Muhammadu Buhari has directed state governments to ensure payment of outstanding workers’ salaries in their various states, to enable workers to “smile to banks”, and to happily celebrate the forthcoming Christmas.
Imo Governor, Rochas Okorocha confirmed this development to State House correspondents after a closed door meeting with the President in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.
He said workers’ issue took the centre stage during the meeting, saying that the president was so much concerned with those who depended on salaries to feed their families, pay school fees and their house rents.
He said President Buhari specifically directed the governors to ensure that they kept workers and pensioners happy by paying their outstanding salaries and allowances from the balance of the outstanding Paris Club refund which would soon be paid to them.
He added that the President was so much concerned with those who depended on salaries to feed their families, pay school fees and their house rents.
