Workers in Benue State on Tuesday expressed shock over the alleged recall of the final tranche of the Paris Club refund earlier paid to the state government by the Federal Government. Governor Samuel Ortom had last Thursday confirmed the receipt of N14.9bn Paris Club refund, and had directed the state ministry of finance to commence the payment of workers’ salary arrears and allowances to pensioners. The state civil servants are owed seven months’ salary arrears while local government workers are being owed 11 months’ salaries.
