The workers of Ekiti State have issued a 21-day ultimatum to the government of Ekiti state within which to pay them their arrears or risk industrial action.

They complained that the non-payment of their entitlements had caused them unbearable hardship in the face of present harsh economic realities.

The workers using the platform of the Trade Union Congress also lamented the incessant kidnappings in the state and urged the state government and security agencies to hasten all they needed to do to stop the problem before it degenerates further.

In a communiqué signed by TUC State Chairman Sola Adigun and Secretary Yomi Peters, at the end of its meeting, the body gave Governor Kayode Fayemi 21 days to make good his promise to offset all arrears of payment before the expiration of his tenure in October.

Furthermore, the body listed their demands, including remittance of already deducted dues such as co-operative deductions, contributory pension bank loan repayment, and NHF fund to the appropriate quarters.

They complained bitterly that most of their members are yet to benefit from the new minimum wage after almost two years of implementation in the state. He called the government "to implement the minimum wage across the board for all workers without further delay."

In addition, he noted that the 2018-2019 promotion exercise was selectively implemented; hence, he asked the state government to immediately remunerate those exempted from the exercise.

Finally, the TUC also called out the State's Accountant-General due to her refusal to continue with co-operative savings of Ekiti workers due to the alleged presence of some syndicate operating in her office.
