The organised labour in Ekiti State has queried the workers wage bill by the Governor Ayodele Fayose-led administration which currently stands at N2.6bn.
According to the state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Raymond Adesanmi, the same figure was claimed by ex-governor Kayode Fayemi’s administration.
“The current wage bill quoted was inherited from the immediate past administration. After one year of this administration, we expect that the bill would have reduced.
“This is because no employment was done and civil servants are retiring every day. If this is looked into, more resources will be available for the payment of salaries and perform other government functions,” he said.
