Kaduna State Head of Service Bariatu Mohammed
By GARBA MUHAMMAD, Kaduna
Kaduna State Government has no outstanding issues with its civil servants and therefore the workers have no reason to participate in the planned strike action, the Head of Service, Mrs Bariatu Mohammed, has argued.
In statement circular she issued on Sunday evening, the Head of Service said that a meeting was convened with the leadership of the labour unions where they were clearly informed of the position of the state government.
“Consequently, I wish to strongly advise civil servants in the state to refrain from participating in the conceived strike action, failure to which shall necessitate government to invoke the policy of no workno pay,” she warned.
Mrs Mohammed assured all civil servants “of a conducive working environment during the period as no one would be restrained from having access to his or her office.”
The Head of Service advised Chief Executives of Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government as well as other arms of government “to bring the content of this circular to the attention of their staff for strict compliance.”
