The Bayelsa Government - We own LG 9 MONTH Salary.


The Bayelsa Government said on Thursday in Yenagoa that it was not owing council workers 16 months’ salary arrears as claimed by the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees.

NULGE had in a statement issued on Monday listed Bayelsa and Kogi as states with the highest level of indebtedness to council workers.

Its National President, Mr Ibrahim Khaleel, alleged that Bayelsa owed between 10 and 16 months
while Kogi owed between seven and 15 months to lead the list of 23 states owing salaries.

Dr Agatha Goma, Bayelsa Commissioner of Local Government Administration, in a statement described NULGE’s claims as false and misleading.

Goma said that the indebtedness to council workers in Bayelsa stood at nine and half months.


“The claim is not true. The local government councils in the state owe nine and half months salary with the exception of Ogbia Local Government Council, whose debt is 10 and half months in salary arrears.

“This regrettable situation is not deliberate as no responsible government will intentionally deny its workforce their legitimate rights to salary as at when due.

“The failure of local government councils to meet their financial obligations arose principally because of the unexpected economic recession.
