Tukur Muntari, KanoTHE Chairman, Kano State branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Kabiru Minjibir, has cautioned against any attempt to slash the salaries of workers in the country. Minjibir, who gave the warning in a telephone interview with The PUNCH in Kano on Wednesday, said any attempt to reduce the workers’ salaries would be met with stiff resistance from the workers in the country. Recall that Ndume was said to have advised both Federal and state governments to cut the salaries of workers to enable them to execute capital projects. “It is not the right time for the lawmaker to give such advice because it’s not the right time to reduce workers’ salaries as they are not being given any palliative. “Since workers are not being given palliatives, their salaries should not be tampered with,” Minjibir further cautioned.
