This decision comes in response to growing concerns from labor unions, notably the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which had threatened industrial action due to salary delays.
The NLC had cautioned that continued non-payment could lead to a statewide shutdown of government operations.
The Rivers State Government’s announcement is anticipated to alleviate the rising tensions between the government and labor organizations.
