In a statewide broadcast to the people of the state in commemoration of the 100 days of the present administration, Governor Simon Lalong said government would address all appointments and promotion, which are not done in accordance with the rule of law.
He said the achievements of the government in his 100 days in office should be seen in the light of taking practical steps to address the enormity of challenges left by the previous administration, which included the award of contracts without recourse to the rule of law, very low morale of the civil service and the security challenges that were threatening lives and property.
He said government had to take immediate step in addressing the lingering labour unrest, the injustice meted out to some office holders, deliberate abuse of the rule of law and finding a lasting solution to the violence in Riyom, Barkin Ladi and Jos South local government areas.
Lalong disclosed that his administration had been able to pay workers arrears for five months as well as three months pension arrears; promising that government would pay the outstanding arrears as soon as the remaining bailout fund was received
