Obinna Nwaoku, Port HarcourtRivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has intervened in the ongoing labor dispute at Emohua Local Government Area by ordering a fresh biometric verification exercise for council workers.
The workers, who were reinstated by Governor Fubara’s administration, had their salaries stopped by Emohua LGA Chairman, Dr. Chidi Lloyd.
Paul stated that the affected workers had been receiving their salaries before the emergence of the Lloyd-led administration in the area.
However, Governor Fubara summoned the LGA chairman, State NULGE leadership, and Local Government Service Commission to discuss the issue.
The governor has directed NULGE leadership to call off the proposed strike and propose another biometric verification for civil servants.
