Bayelsa: LG Workers Battle Dickson over Unpaid Salaries

Local government councils’ workers in Bayelsa state are now angling for a battle with the  state governor,Chief Seriake Dickson,  following the government’s refusal to pay their salaries since March, 2014.

The workers accused the government of using local government councils money to pay contractors working on various government projects in the state.

They  expressed  worry on  why the government will hold them to ransom when other civil servants in the state are being paid regularly and on time.

But the government in its reaction said  that the workers would not be paid until they all  go through  a verification exercise.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Daniel Iworiso-Markson insisted that the exercise is a must for all workers and that until it is completed there would be no salary.
