  1. Pls can you give me institutions that fall under civil and local government because lam confused

  2. Per the comments of Nanabayin, posting such issues accross board will be a big disappointment for some in the sector if it happens that not all of us are involved. So Pls be specific in posting and also give vivid datails so that it will not be heartbreaking news if all tends to rely on it and becomes disappointed along our line of making expenses.

  3. This your lies is very expensive and can drive people away from your subsequent reports.
    Apologize to your readers.

  4. What do you want to achieve from publishing half truths? You know very well that the 15% salary increment was for ONLY workers of CLOSAG, yet your headline seems to suggest that it was for ALL workers. Please be circumspect in your reportage. Thanks.

  5. This is very misleading. This agreement is different from the 4% disrespectful peanut agreed by our greedy TUC to public workers under CAGD. This portal needs to correct this immediately.

    Thank you

  6. It’s not for all public sector workers please. It is for civil servants chiefly those in the ministies and departments , diatrict assemblies, etc
