NULGE Rivers State

PRESS RELEASE
01 May, 2025

The leadership of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Rivers State Chapter, under the stewardship of Comrade Clifford Paul, (FCPA), wishes to categorically disassociate itself and the Union from any protest whether planned, proposed, or orchestrated by any person or group against the Government of Rivers State.

NULGE emphatically states that it does not endorse, support, or recognize any protest action planned or carried out in the name of NULGE. Any person or group found engaging in such unauthorized actions does so at their own risk and should be decisively dealt with in accordance with the law.

The Union acknowledges and deeply appreciates the Rivers State Government for its unwavering commitment to the welfare of Local Government workers, notably:

• The prompt and consistent payment of salaries,

• The implementation of the N85,000 minimum wage,

• The prevailing atmosphere of industrial peace and harmony enjoyed by workers across the State.

As at today, Local Government Workers in Rivers State are NOT owed salaries, allowances or any entitlement.

Furthermore, NULGE commends the approval and directive for immediate implementation of the new salary structure for Health workers by the Sole Administrator, His Excellency Vice Admiral Ibok-Ette Ibas (Rtd). This action underscores the Government's dedication to enhancing the wellbeing of its workforce.

It is therefore baseless and unwise to agitate or protest when no legitimate grievances exist. NULGE Rivers State Chapter remains committed to constructive dialogue, peaceful engagement, and continued collaboration with the State Government to advance the interest of Local Government workers.

Signed:
Comrade Clifford N. Paul, (FCPA)
State President,
NULGE Rivers State Chapter.
