The Chairman of Kwali Area Council, Mr. Joseph K. Shazin, has said he will use punctuality of staff to implement their outstanding promotions.
Shazin, expressed displeasure at staff’s poor attitude to work. Speaking at the council conference hall last Thursday, he said, he had observed for a long time that staff were not punctual at work.
“So I really don’t know what you will now suggest to address this issue of lack of punctuality. I think may be the management will leave that to the department head to settle that, but I have made up my mind that we are really going to use punctuality to implement staff promotion,” he said.
The chairman told the council staff how the Paris Club funds were expended, saying a sum of N5.2 million was remitted into the staff multipurpose cooperative group.
He added that N23 million was earmarked for the staff pension arrears of which N20 million was already expended for that purpose.
He also said N1milion was paid to staff as promotion arrears for 2012, adding that the sum of N1.1 million for the affected staff promotion arrears for 2013, were also cleared.
The chairman said the N14 million arrears for medical and health workers of the council for 2010 and 2012 had been paid.
He therefore called on the staff of the council to be dedicated to their duty, saying the only way he would implement their promotion was by their being punctual at work.
