Wike: Striking Legislative Workers In Rivers To Forfeit Salaries

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said striking
legislative workers under the auspices of the Parliamentary Staff
Association of Nigeria (PASAN) will henceforth forfeit their
salaries until they call off their action.

Wike in a statement signed on Thursday by his Special Assistant
on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, said his administration had fully
implemented full financial autonomy for legislature.

He insisted there was no justification for the closure of the
Rivers State House of Assembly.

Wike reiterated that his administration was not owing
parliamentary workers, describing the current strike as a
disservice to the government and people of Rivers.

He explained that the enforcement of no-work-no-pay policy had
come into force in Rivers and parliamentary workers could no longer
sit at home and expect salaries.
