The Trade Group of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation and the River Basin Development Authorities under the National Union of Agriculture and Allied Employees has called on the Federal Government to settle outstanding promotion arrears owed to workers from 2019 to date.
The union also demanded a review of the salary structure for River Basin Development Authorities personnel, improved career progression, regular promotion exercises and increased investment in staff capacity development.
The demands were presented on Thursday by the Chairman of the forum, Ambrose Igiebour, during a courtesy visit to the Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof Joseph Utsev.
Speaking during the meeting, Igiebour described the engagement as the beginning of a new chapter of collaboration between the ministry’s leadership and its workforce.
