A group of controversial workers in Taraba, popularly known as ‘Ghost Workers’ have come together to pray for a divine intervention over the state’s failure to pay them over the last ten months.
These ‘ghost workers’ , both Muslims and Christians, went spiritual for the security of the payment of their allowance as they gathered at the Al-Huda Mosque in Jalingo yesterday at the state’s capital.
As they converge, ENigeria Newspaper learnt that the group’s converner, Abdurrauf Sani, urged the state government led ty Executive Governor Agbu Kefas to urgently see to their situation, which he described as hard and unbearable.
“We are not ghost workers; we are staff of the Taraba State Government,” Sani clarified, affirming why the group deserve its prolonged and delayed payment allowances.
While the state government has failed their allowances, Sani said that six members of the group have passed away, and another is currently battling hepatitis amid rising medical and living expenditures.
He was frustrated that they were left with little choice but to turn to God for assistance after numerous attempts to address the problem through governmental channels had failed.
Sani also announced that the group would proceed to the Gospel House Church on Sunday to continue their spiritual quest for divine intervention over their unpaid salaries.
“The suffering among our people is becoming unbearable. That is why we are here praying for God’s intervention,” he said.
