The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Plateau Government had in January announced the transfer of salaries of Local Government workers to chairmen of the 17 LGAs of the state.
This was sequel to the battle the state government had with LG workers who in November 2020 embarked on indefinite strike over non-implimentation of the N30,000 minimum wage.
