The aggrieved workers spoke during a town hall meeting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on Saturday, which was organised by the National Orientation Agency in collaboration with Human Development Initiatives.

The NLC Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Asmau Apalnado, called on the state government to pay local government staff, State Universal Basic Education Board workers and pensioners their entitlement arrears from the N75bn the federal government got from overpayment for the Paris Club deductions.

She said the workers and pensioners were facing difficult times as a result.
