Katsina – Alhaji Maigari Danjuma Dalihu, chairman, Katsina State Local Government Service Commission, has warned local government workers in the state against indulging in shady acts to get promoted or favourable posting.
Dalihu gave the warning on Thursday while speaking at an occasion organized by the state branch of Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the union.
According to him, if NULGE branch officials were doing the right thing, there would be no reason for any member to come to Katsina looking for his favours, saying “posting and promotion is a normal routine and any worker due for it will be given”.
The commission boss, who lamented that, on his assumption into office, met a situation where a local government staff retired and for 13 years his file would not reach the commission, said when he enquired, he found out that the file was recovered under a refrigerator.
While commending the union members for the harmonious working relations, he urged them to be upright in the fight and demand for the rights of workers.
Comrade Ibrahim Khaleel, the national president of NULGE, represented by the Katsina branch president, Comrade Aliyu Haruna Kankara, lamented the suffocation of local governments by some state governors.
Khaleel also demanded full autonomy of local governments as well as the inclusion of recongnition of local governments in the constitution as the third tier of government.
Comrade Tanimu Saulawa, the state NLC chairman, and Comrade Hussaini Hamisu, the state chairman, Medical and Health Workers Union, in their separate remarks, commended the discipline and commitment of NULGE leadership in the state.
