ReplyDeleteI'm also a real victim of this issue work as Presiding officer in Chikun LG ever since I barely feed my self because I have use all my money for transport and feeding while we are having training and a day of election. Is very unfair, we are serving and yet our parents were still feeding us.
ReplyDeletePlease pay us our money
ReplyDeleteI spent 6k on transport only for both training and the election location not to talk of what I spent for eating, not to talk of the pain they caused me after the election. We’re exposed to cold, harmattan and sleeping on the foor in class rooms. I’ve to go treat myself after the election and they’re yet to pay us. Please fear God
