SHAME ON KOGI TYRANT,YAHAYA BELLO AS SENATOR DINO SECURES RICE DONATIONS AFTER BEGGING FELLOW SENATORS TO SAVE KOGI STATE CIVIL SERVANTS

A few days after a director in the Kogi State civil service reportedly killed himself over unpaid emolument, 40 Nigerian senators have donated at least 1,260 bags of rice to civil servants in Kogi State, a lawmaker said.

Kogi is one of the many states currently owing workers' salaries and entitlements. The senators reportedly made the donation at the instance of one of their colleagues, Dino Melaye, Kogi-APC

Earlier at the plenary, Mr. Melaye had called the attention of the Senate to thesuffering of civil servants in Kogi State. "Today, in my state we live in perilous time and vicissitude.

The social media and newspapers have been awash few days with unfortunate incident of a civil servant who committed suicide upon receiving information that his wife gave birth to triplets", he said.

"He is (was) being owed 11 months' salary. Another civil servant was seen crying because he could not provide N3000 for drugs and the child died. Their salaries must be paid; pensioners must be paid. How many more people will commit suicide before Yahaya Bello pays salaries? We don't want to see more deaths in Kogi state."

Addressing journalists at the end of the plenary, Mr. Melaye disclosed that 40 senators had donated 1,260 bags of rice and other relief materials to ease the sufferings of the workers.
