Zamfara CSO Gives Gov Lawal 14-day Ultimatum To Reinstate Sacked Workers

The Zamfara Civil Society Organisation (ZCSO) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to Governor Dauda Lawal, demanding the reinstatement of recently dismissed workers. The group condemned the mass dismissal of workers as unjust and detrimental to civil service in the state. In a statement on Monday, ZCSO’s Secretary, Kabiru Ahmad Bukuyum, criticised the governor’s decision, arguing that the grounds for the dismissals were insufficient. The workers were reportedly sacked for absenteeism, but Bukuyum asserted that their absence was due to unpaid salaries, not negligence. “The governor’s justification for these suspensions is baseless and unfair. Many of these workers could not report to work because they had not been paid on time. Despite receiving substantial federal allocations, the state government continues to delay salary payments,” Bukuyum said. https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1---&gpp_sid=-1&client=ca-pub-7274163950528935&output=html&h=280&adk=3995832516&adf=3167537780&pi=t.aa~a.2067693828~i.10~rp.4&w=848&abgtt=6&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1743083967&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=8204113141&ad_type=text_image&format=848x280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fleadership.ng%2Fzamfara-cso-gives-gov-lawal-14-day-ultimatum-to-reinstate-sacked-workers%2F%3Futm_source%3Ddlvr.it%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook%26fbclid%3DIwY2xjawJSNl9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQKEyTwOMVqDp1Lrxe0mrn9rgMT86MEoyMuSY55oJK9tEkqxlCPEJKz1AA_aem_KvmwqPl46zdOaySV5Z9c2w&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=847&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTAuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTM0LjAuNjk5OC4xNzciLG51bGwsMCxudWxsLCI2NCIsW1siQ2hyb21pdW0iLCIxMzQuMC42OTk4LjE3NyJdLFsiTm90OkEtQnJhbmQiLCIyNC4wLjAuMCJdLFsiR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEzNC4wLjY5OTguMTc3Il1dLDBd&dt=1743083943878&bpp=149&bdt=402121&idt=149&shv=r20250324&mjsv=m202503240101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D824c583121367758%3AT%3D1740291607%3ART%3D1743083588%3AS%3DALNI_MZEGkSVVBKhdm1K_zRrb-6Pia46iA&gpic=UID%3D00000ff7aa5f3c9b%3AT%3D1740291607%3ART%3D1743083588%3AS%3DALNI_MZ9Y3qNuKVYCuOxywwAN_Kak7OtXQ&eo_id_str=ID%3D9ed34ee687d5af3b%3AT%3D1740291607%3ART%3D1743083588%3AS%3DAA-AfjZyu4z2YzMjEnJR7N-cFpuu&prev_fmts=0x0%2C1351x641&nras=3&correlator=7885574927248&frm=20&pv=1&u_tz=60&u_his=2&u_h=768&u_w=1366&u_ah=728&u_aw=1366&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=8&adx=106&ady=1981&biw=1351&bih=641&scr_x=0&scr_y=400&eid=95353929%2C95356498%2C95356506%2C95355300&oid=2&pvsid=3791873595172642&tmod=1513739664&uas=1&nvt=3&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fl.facebook.com%2F&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1366%2C0%2C1366%2C728%2C1366%2C641&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&cms=2&fu=128&bc=31&bz=1&td=1&tdf=2&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&nt=1&pgls=CAEQBg..&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&dtd=23469 He warned that if the government failed to act within 14 days, civil society […]

United We Stand: Confronting Division with Collective Strength

In times when division threatens the fabric of our society, it's imperative to remember the strength inherent in our diverse heritages. Drawing inspiration from leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., who stood resolutely against oppression, we too must rise to confront ideologies that seek to tear us apart.​ A Disturbing Resurgence Today, we witness rhetoric echoing dangerous ideologies reminiscent of darker times in history—ideologies leaning toward supremacy and marginalization. Actions by certain leaders and influential figures align perilously with these divisive thoughts, challenging the very essence of our collective progress. Uniting Against Hate The entanglement of political entities with powerful billionaires often fuels narratives of division. Support for policies that prioritize profit over people risks creating a society where only a select few voices are amplified. Yet, we stand firm on the foundation of Dr. King's message—the power of love […]
