“They (Labour), as part of the agreement reached, said they know the ghost workers in the state and would want to start screening without interference.

“Henceforth, ‎all civil servants from level 17 downwards will be paid by the Organised Labour as government would pay salaries directly to Labour.

“Government has given labour the sum of N1.350 billion for July salary.

“This clarification became necessary following fears being expressed by the workers on the fate of the deducted salary.

“The shortfall in June salary will be paid.

“Government has no intention of denying workers their legitimate earnings.

“I want to assure our esteemed civil servants that government will pay the balance of the shortfall in June salary very soon.”
