Gov. Bello Is Praised By The Kogi Nlc For Paying The Promotion Wage.
The Kogi chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has praised Gov. Yahaya Bello for paying promotion salaries to Kogi State employees in honor of his seventh year in office.
In a statement made on Saturday in Lokoja, the NLC Chairman, Mr. Onuh Edoka, also congratulated Bello on his seventh anniversary of serving as the executive governor of Kogi State.
Edoka congratulated the governor for honoring the occasion by starting the promotion compensation for Kogi employees.

Edoka also praised the governor for kindly agreeing to reimburse state employees’ duty tour money from the federal government.
“The incredible infrastructural development that Gov. Bello’s government has accomplished has the workforce really enthusiastic.
We want the payment of additional welfare benefits owed to the employees, he added.
