Speaking with newsmen in Kaduna at the NUTGTWN meeting, Aremu described the development as a wage theft, wage robbery and economic crime. Aremu who is the Vice President of the Nigeria Labour Congress ( NLC) said for about three months now, 22 state governors are delaying or refusing to pay salaries but paid the delegates during the just concluded primary elections across the states. “We see that delay in payment of salaries as wage theft, wage robbery.

In fact by 22nd of every month you must have pay the workers fully. “We never heard of any delegate being owed a single penny during the primary elections
