FORUM URGES KEBBI GOVT. TO DEVELOP HUMAN CAPITAL The Kebbi Development Forum, an NGO, on Saturday urged the state government to accord priority to human capital development to boost rapid economic growth and end ongoing strike by workers. This is contained in a statement signed by, Usman Abubakar, the Secretary-General of the group in Birnin Kebbi. The statement commended the state government for providing infrastructure that would guarantee sustainable development. It also commended the state government for adopting measures that would bring to an end the indefinite strike embarked upon by the state’s chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The decision of the government to implement the N18, 000 minimum wage and the demands by the NLC was commendable as it would boost service delivery, and end the strike, the statement said. It, however, urged the government to conclude negotiation with the NLC in order to put an end to the ongoing workers strike. The statement also urged the state government to sustain the prompt payment of workers’ salaries, considering the fact that the civil servants were relevant in the implementation of governments policies and programmes
