Buhari Begs Governors To Pay Salaries

President Muhammadu Buhari appealed to state governors to address the plight of workers in their state by paying salaries when he met with traditional rulers inside the Presidential Villa in the nation's capital Abuja on Monday.

Workers and pensioners in many states in the country are still being owed months of salaries and the President is worried about the situation and expects that the Paris Club refunds to states would have eased the situation.

President Buhari said, “There are Nigerians that haven’t be paid for six months. There are Nigerians that haven’t been paid their retirement benefits for years. I appeal to the governors; that is why we voted money, we borrowed money. Please, make sure (you pay) anybody under you. If he is working, he depends on the salary to pay rent, to hold his family, for education, health care…”
