Kaduna State Government has been given a pat on the back for evolving effective monitoring measures on the activities of Local Government Councils in the State.
This, NULGE said, has brought visible changes in the performance of the Councils.
The Acting President of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees Kaduna State chapter, Comrade Rayyanu Isayaku Turunku gave the commendation in Kaduna, Northwest of the country, while interacting with some members of the Union to mark the Christmas celebration.
Comrade Rayyanu said there is an indication that the Local Government Councils have imbibed the culture of prudent management of resources by focusing more on projects that have direct bearing on the needs and welfare of the populace.
While commending the Governor El Rufai led administration for the effort to encourage the Councils towards effective service delivery, the NULGE President however appealed to the Governor to allow the Councils to take over the responsibility of payment of salaries of their staff from the State Ministry of Local Government to eliminate delays and other attendant problems.
He also urged the Government to assist the Local Government Councils to settle all outstanding salaries and leave grant arrears to alleviate the hardship of the affected staff.
Comrade Rayyanu felicitated with members of the Union and the entire Christian community in the State and urge them to use the occasion to reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
He stressed that the State Government needs the support of all its citizens to restore the State to its past glory in the areas of peaceful coexistence and religious harmony.
