Opinion: KSU Strike Despite Bail Out

No doubt, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has tried to have paid 4 months of the 6 months salaries owed by the State government, but his effort is not enough…
Unarguably, every informed KOGITE is aware that the state is in possession of abundant capital, given the bail-out he received and the subsequent allocations for 4 months of his screening exercise.
I do not expect the state workers to suffer this far. During the last Kogi gubernatorial electioneering campaign period, I was a fanatical ‘#Wadarite’ with all machineries (facts and figures) to defend Wada and his government, but there is a certain LINE from our rival that always caught my attention to admit the fact within myself; “pay workers their ‘full sallary’, it is not a privilege but their right”.
Referring to the above slogan at that time, there is an indication that Mr. Wada used to pay salary but not on full basis, given the economy crisis at that time. Now the State government is having more than enough money, why
not paying workers?
All the state government own schools (Primary to University) are on indefinite strike despite the bail-out!
It is high time for the youths of Kogi State to start thinking of positive solutions to our present situation and the way forward instead of praising the wrong things by peddling our poverty.
Stop destroying your generation and the one yet unborn for a penny today. Do not trade your reputation and integrity for gratification, because posterity would judge you if not now, certainly one day!
