Yuletide: Kogi gives 60percent salary to workers.

Kogi state Government has begin payment of 60percent salary arrears to workers in the state.

In a statement released by the commissioner of finance, he said, we are only able to pay 60% salary across board. It is the sincere hope of government that  through our aggressive drive to increase internally generated revenue, the fortunes of civil servants and all citizens will improve.

It's yet to be confirmed if workers have started receiving the 60percent payment as of the time the statement was released.

With backlogs of over 20months of unpaid salaries and pension its obviously not a fair share for Kogi workers to be paid only 60percent of a month salary during the Christmas period.
