Secretariat workers in Taraba complained of irregular salary payments for up to six (6) months, while lecturers at state tertiary institutions and midwives in the state-owned hospital in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/09\/how-the-truth-behind-the-falling-mysterious-white-clothing-in-ondo-state-was-revealed\/\">Ondo State<\/a> have not been paid a dime in the last four (4) months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Iniobong Usen, BudgIT\u2019s head of research and policy advisory, said civil servants\u2019 remuneration is a necessary part of the employer-employee relationship, whether at the state or federal level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Usen said the delay in payment of salaries affects the smooth working of the government, adding that the survival and livelihood of civil servants depend on timely salary payment and the government\u2019s refusal to pay shows its disregard for the legal obligation to pay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cNigerian civil servants are unfortunately no strangers to delays and gaps in monthly salary payments. Despite belonging to the executive implementing arm of the government, they have been left without payments in many instances. With several states guilty of this non-payment, civil servants are often at wit\u2019s end at \u2018month end,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The civic tech group further said the lingering issue has become worrisome, adding that non-salary payments are a breach of the basic contractual provisions between an employer and employee and failed to recognize national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/04\/06\/putin-signs-legislation-that-formally-grants-him-the-right-to-stay-in-power-till-2036\/\">legislation<\/a> on employee rights at the continental and international levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cBudgIT posits that this state of affairs is a combination of \u2018governance failure\u2019 bordering on mismanagement and administrative inefficiency, an unnecessarily large wage bill which itself may be due to poor planning and hiring practices, and a problem of broader macroeconomic downturns which in some sense are beyond the control of the state governments, as they have little influence over monetary and fiscal policies,\u201d the group added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cTherefore, BudgIT calls on the various state governments to urgently address this glaring inability to pay state workers\u2019 salaries as the attitude, enthusiasm, productivity and survival of state workers and their families are directly related to the timeliness of their remuneration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A civic-tech organisation, BudgIT has expressed worry over the refusal of state governments to pay workers&#8217; salaries.
