The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has appealed to the Federal Government to ensure that local government allocations are paid directly.
The Congress urged the government and Governors not to play politics with the implementation of the Supreme Court judgment directing local governments to open accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for direct allocations.
President of NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, made the appeal at the 8th National Administrative Council meeting of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Abuja yesterday.
The labour leader pledged NLC’s support in ensuring NULGE’s fight for full autonomy was achieved.
