The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) Kano State chapter, has warned the state government against further deductions of workers salaries as well as pensioners’ retired benefits.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Chairman of the chapter, Ali Abubakar Sadiq and made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Monday.
The statement noted with disdain the deductions of workers salaries at a time when the prices of essential commodities are too expensive in order to make a purchase.
It said the deduction of workers salaries and pension benefits does not make sense, rather than compounds the problem faced by civil servants and pensioners.
