I think the major point of concern should be how to ensure that the retrenched workers are paid off handsomely and expediently.
It is my hope that NLC, the Kaduna State House of Assembly members and other relevant stakeholders would re-channel their focus and energies towards ensuring that Kaduna State government (KDSG) fulfills its promise of expediting the payment of benefits to those entitled following the rightsizing.
Kaduna had recently dominated the news after the country’s main labour group, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), instituted an industrial action in the State, shutting it down for three days. This came as a result of the publicised intention (and in some quarters, implementation) of the Kaduna State government (KDSG) to retrench some staff as part of its Public Service Revitalisation and Renewal Programme.
