The Trade Union Congress, TUC, has appealed to the Kogi State Government to pay wage award to workers in order to reduce the economic hardship in the state.

The Kogi State TUC Chairman, Comrade Ahmed Tijani, made the appeal in a statement on Friday while felicitating with Christians in this year’s Easter celebration.

Tijani, who also felicitates with Muslims on this year’s Ramadan fast, stressed the need for the Kogi State Government to, aside the sharing of rice palliatives, to also consider the payment of wage award to civil servants.

He noted that they are at the receiving end of the economic challenges.

While assuring workers commitment to the success of the present administration, he however appealed to them to keep hope alive as the Organized Labour will continue its engagement with the government for a better deal.

He re-emphasized the need for prayers for government at all levels in view of precarious economic challenges bedevilling the nation.
