The National Industrial Court, Abuja, on Friday ordered the Kogi Government to pay a civil servant, Ameh Onoj, whose salary was stopped in March 2014.

Onoja had approached the court to seek redress when he was told that his salary was stopped because he had attained the compulsory retirement age.

Justice David Isele in his judgment held that evidence before the court showed that the claimant had not reached the mandatory retirement age of 60.

Isele also said neither has the claimant spent 35 years in service as required by civil service rule before retirement.

The court went further to order the restoration of the claimant’s monthly salary of N153,298 from March 2014 to date within one month.

Daniel Onuh, the claimant’s counsel told the court that his client was born on October 1, 1960.

Onuh also said the claimant joined the civil service in 1983 as a class teacher with the Benue government and in 1995 transferred his service to Kogi.

Onuh said his client is still serving as the Vice Principal (Academics) of Ogugu Community Secondary School, in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State.

He said since no disciplinary action has been instituted against the claimant for any misconduct, and he has not received any dismissal letter, he is entitled to his salary from when it was stopped till date.

Also joined in the suit are the Kogi Civil Service and Ministry of Justice.

Yeye bello.. the worst among wretcheds.....A gov that cant boast of one achievement or even an on-going project

According to his counsel he was born on October 1, 1960. very fishy I must say.

Then his salary was stopped in 2014 and he's still been working? Like How? Why? What has he been surviving on for 4 years. What if he had lost the case?

People should learn to be wise.

Join the campaign to beg President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan to please seek for an rerun in 2019. Join the harsh tag and spread the message to other pants of the nation.

The battle life have been drawn.

i dont know were these man is going taking kogi tooo is getting too much for him

Who did we offend in this country? So it's court that will tell a governor to pay salary?


Yahya Bello is one of the reasons Buhari called us Lazy Youths.

So court has to force a Governor to pay the salaries of its Civil Servants. What will we not see from our Crowned Governor, His royal shadeness, Yahaya Bello.

This is what you get, when a governor comes into office without the VOTE of the Electorates.

so if court no give order, government no go get sense

All the civil servants who are being owed should sue him too

Nigerian court?? I want to let you know that Bello is Buhari's personal boy! Aso rock house boy! He is a criminal! I assure you, no one can force him! Bello is currently not in Kogi state because Kogi people prayed for him to die and he was knocked down by his own driver in a cause of spraying money to the crowd he impoverished in the state. You can verify my claim.. Bello is currently receiving treatment in Abuja, soon to be flown abroad. Kogi people are still praying it gets worse for him cos he is a heartless leader!

Haba what happened to this thread, front page with no comment?

Modified : I see, network played a fast one on me.

Ghen ghen! Action film haff start! Who get popcorn?

Thief Bello can't pay salary. This funny man pays N100M to Yusuf every month.Shameless man. He gets Buhari's backing through Yusuf. That's why he could successfully deal with Dino.

He has 'passed the retirement age' but you still kept him to be working for free? You don't mean it...

Edakun elders of nairaland. The ones who knows the content of a thread just by reading the topic. I salute you all.

Its not like I'm a fan of d hediat o, neither do I support his other stoopid doings. But I just want to understand something regarding this thread and I will like you pple to explain the correlation.
This man's salary was stopped since 2014, & Bello assumed office in 2016. So how is it Bello's fault? Ayam not understanding.

Can you pls read before commenting?... Do we need to know you hate Bello? Smtchew

Vote youth my foot

When a court orders you to carry out your civic responsibility as a governor to paying workers salary, just know you have failed.


Niaja don cast...

Stupid Bello, all he does is to chase Dino upandan while looting kogi dry

I love this strategy

Good



Who can give me the guideline, I want to go to court too.


I need one cattle owner that inflicts pains on the populace removed from seat.

This is too bad!

Reward for labour is wages or salaries except Governor Yahaya Bello failed to remember factors of production as explained in business studies & economics. Workers are not beggars and they don't deserve all these hardship!

Uncle I'm glad you noted all these.

Shebi we want young blood in the system and he's the youngest sitting governor but with no pedigree.

Very shameful!

The court deserves some accolade.

But have the Judiciary workers in the state been paid?

the man is now a millionaire

Aieboocaar:
So... a court order is now needed to pay a worker his entitlement in this damn country??!
