Akwa Ibom labor leaders want over 1,000 casual workers made permanent staff. NLC chair Sunny James said some state offices still hire temporary workers against global standards. He noted that job openings exist after 2,000 people missed a recent verification check.
James asked for faster promotions for 6,600 workers to prevent backlogs. He thanked Governor Eno for paying old pensions, gratuities, leave grants, and setting an N80,000 minimum wage. The union praised the governor for addressing 18 of their 25 requests and starting a N2.6 billion pension refund program.
TUC leader Dominic Abang liked the new Digital Economy Ministry, which aims to improve civil service work. Governor Eno, through his deputy, promised to keep working with unions for state growth. He said his campaign promise to partner with labor groups became a reality, with more help coming as money allows.
