A group of activists has disagreed
with the claim by Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa that the state does not
owe public workers in the state.
Bayelsa Workers Unity Forum said
local government workers and pensioners are being owed more than five months
salaries
“The LGA workforce constitutes over
75% of workers in the state and therefore wonders why a governor of a state
will be claiming he does not owe salaries when over 75% of the workforce has
not been paid. All the staffs even in his government house have not also been
paid, so who are the people governor Dickson keeps saying he is paying? Are
they ghosts? Bayelsa is a very small state and as such the workers in the
ministries in Yenagoa are very few but the bulk of our state’s workforce are in
the LGAs and the governor has not paid us,” noted the group in a statement
signed by its president, Kemepador Isaac and Secretary, Timiprey Pereowie.
Governor Dickson during an interview
on a national TV, maintained that the state is not owing its workforce.
