President Buhari Orders All State Govs To Settle Unpaid Salaries Of Workers In Their State

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday urged state governors who owe salaries to, as a matter of urgency, explore ways of liquidating all unpaid salaries which he said have brought untold hardship to thousands of families.

He also encouraged them to restrict themselves to projects that would meet immediate needs of the people, taking account of available resources.

Buhari made the submission while inaugurating the National Economic Council led by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The council which has the 36 state governors and the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria as members is saddled with the responsibility of advising the President on economic affairs of the country.
