To mark the Workers Day, Organised Labour in Nasarawa State called on the state government to lift the embargo it placed on in-service training for civil servants.
The chairperson of Nigeria Labour Congress, Yusuf Iya, said because of an executive order the state government had placed an embargo on in-service programmes for civil servants in 2017.
He also said no civil servant had been trained over the past two years even though N60-million was budgeted each year for the training.
He also demanded state governments pay 50% of the two years balance of salaries owed to local government workers and retirees before the end of the tenure of the current government.
