The Law Officers Association of Nigeria (LOAN), Kwara Chapter, on Friday in Ilorin commended Gov. Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq for approving the payment of all outstanding allowances and entitlements owed to State Counsel in the state.
In a letter of appreciation signed by Barr.
Kehinde Ayorinde, the Chairman of Kwara LOAN, and addressed to the governor, the association described the gesture as a magnanimous display of leadership.
The association said the approval demonstrated that the welfare of workers remains a priority of the present administration and would further motivate State Counsel in the discharge of their duties.
It, however, appealed to the governor to also look into the remaining aspect of its request, which is the implementation of the harmonization of salary for law officers in the state.
NAN recalls that few months ago the Law officers in the Kwara State Ministry of Justice embarked on indefinite strike over the alleged non-payment of outstanding statutory allowances.
The Law officers also alleged failure of the state government in harmonization of salaries for law officers in the State with those of the Magistrates in the Judiciary.
