Unpaid salaries: Buhari meets governors on Tuesday

President Muhammadu Buhari will tomorrow meet with Nigerian state governors over the unpaid salaries to workers in some states.

Although not officially confirmed yet, the meeting is expected to focus on the modality of sourcing funds for the governors to enable them defray the debts owed their workers.

“The President has graciously accepted our overtures to him to help us. Some of us are owing workers over nine months salary arrears and this has brought activities in the public service to a standstill. We hope the President helps this time,” a top government official in Osun state, one of the worst hit states said.

Salaries owed to state workers are estimated at N110 billion.
