The State's Accountant General, Abdullahi Saidu, in a meeting held in the office of the Head of Service on Monday, explained that the state had been recording a drastic decline in its income from the Federation Account and Internally Generated Revenue. However, the State Government, told NLC officials and those of the Trade Union Congress that it could no longer afford to pay 100 per cent salaries to workers with effect from the end of this month (November).
