The Zamfara workers' forum has accused Governor Dauda Lawal Dare of not paying civil servants' salaries for eight months, labeling the alleged delay as “cruelty beyond governance.”
In a statement released on Wednesday, the forum’s Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim Marafa, stated that the governor’s actions are causing significant hardship for workers and their families. He mentioned that some affected families are struggling to meet basic needs, and children are reportedly being forced out of school.
“This is not leadership; it is pure cruelty. How can a governor deny innocent workers their hard-earned salaries for eight months and, instead of showing empathy, choose to abandon them?” Marafa expressed.
The forum also expressed concerns regarding the health and wellbeing of workers, describing the situation as a humanitarian crisis. They urged the Federal Government, labor unions, and civil rights organizations to take action.
“Governor Dauda Lawal Dare has failed the fundamental test of humanity. Leadership is about responsibility and compassion, not oppression,” the statement continued.
The Zamfara Good Governance Forum reiterated its commitment to advocating for the rights of the affected workers until “justice and accountability are restored” in the state.
