The Nigeria Labour Congress, Akwa Ibom state council has called on the state government to allocate more funds to promptly settle the entitlements due the next of kin of late primary School teachers in the state.
The state chairman of NLC, comrade SUNNY JAMES in an interview with Inspiration FM emphasized that he is at the forefront of ensuring that the entitlements for the next of kin are duly paid.
Comrade JAMES added that more monies should be released by the state government to cover as many of them as possible.
According to comrade JAMES, there are also a number of primary school teachers who are yet to receive their leave grant for the past 10 years and need to be settled as well.
On the 9th of August, the next of kin embarked on a peaceful protest in front of the government house, although they were barricaded by the police from Division A located at barracks road, Uyo.
