According to the NLC chairman, workers agreed to suspend the strike which started on May 26 because the state government would begin payment of January and February 2015 salaries as from Monday (yesterday) while the remaining salaries would be paid with the bailout still being expected from the Federal Government.
A copy of the MoU made available to journalists showed that the Head of Service, Mr. Sunday Owoeye, led the permanent secretaries of the Ministries of Justice, Finance and Human Resources and Capacity Building/Public Service to sign the document.
The MoU read, “Both parties, therefore, agreed to enter into this Memorandum of Understanding in anticipation of the bailout expected from the Federal Government on the issue of settlement of salary arrears and to show the state government’s commitment to the welfare of its workforce, having in mind the need to collect data towards the completion of the physical verification exercise of workers and retirees in the public service.
