Workers said they had not been paid for the past three years
Some staff of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), are threatening to demonstrate against the organisation over unpaid salaries.
According to the workers, numbering over one thousand, NADMO has failed to pay them their salaries for over two years.
They say even though the Finance Ministry has cleared them to be paid, NADMO is reluctant to release their monies.
In a Citi News interview, spokesperson for the affected workers, Alhasssan Mohammed, said they will be forced to organize a series of demonstrations if their money is not paid immediately.
“It was two years back when we were trying to contact our national and Finance Ministry for salary arrears since we were appointed to office. We got an appointment from 2013, and we have been in arrears for three years, and there has not been any payment. We don’t know why our monies have not been paid.”
NADMO workers picket at Finance Ministry
In 2015, about 50 workers of NADMO representing about 1500 people, picketed at the Finance Ministry to demand unpaid salaries.
The workers said they had not been paid for the past three years.
According to them, they had petitioned all appropriate offices but to no avail.
Aside concerns over unpaid salaries, staff and management of the organisation have over the years expressed concern about the lack of basic logistics needed for the effective delivery of their services.
