The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, says it will not be deterred from pursuing its unwaivering struggle and agitation for a true Local Government autonomy in the quest to bring lasting solution to series of societal and social ills in the Country.
The Kaduna State President of NULGE, Comrade Rayanu Isyaku Turunku, made the remarks at a special award ceremony, organized by the Southern Kaduna Zone of the Union in honor of some prominent personalities, including State Officials of the Union and political office holders for their outstanding performance.
The NULGE President, stressed that most of the persistent societal and social ills being experienced in the country are rooted to poverty and economy imbalance, calling on the relevant stakeholders to join hands with NULGE towards the realization of a true autonomy of Local Governments to address the ugly trends.
Comrade Rayanu used the occasion to commend the Kaduna State Government for the commencement of the implementation of the new minimum wage of #72,000, to Local Government workers in the State but appealed to the government to take urgent steps to address issues arising from the implementation.
He also expressed concern about the ongoing mass resignations and retirements across all the Local Government Councils in the State, the development, he said, is posing a serious threat and danger to the service, calling for Government urgent attention.
The State President, who was among the recipients of the awards, praised the organizers for the initiative and foresight as it came at a time when the Union is working hard to encourage and mobilize support of every member and prominent people towards achieving its goals and objectives.
Earlier the Chairman of the Southern kaduna Zone of NULGE, Comrade Christopher Maikasiwa, said the awards were to appreciate and document the sterling leadership qualities of the recipients and their tremendous contributions to the progress of both the Union and the society.
