The Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, Nigeria Union of Teachers and Nigerian Union of Pensioners has proposed a staff redistribution, placement and auditing exercise, to ascertain the actual numbers of local government workers, primary school teachers and pensioners in all the 774 local government areas nationwide.

Under the Joint Action Committee of Local government-based unions, they also recommended an embargo on recruitment of new staff into local government including teachers for one year from the date of the Supreme Court Judgment on direct payment to ensure stability and consideration.

These are parts of the recommendations the Joint Action Committee aimed at effective operations of local government during the direct remittance of federal allocation following the recent Supreme Court granting of financial autonomy to the local governments.

President of NUT, Titus Amba, President-General of NULGE, Ambali Akeem, and President of Nigeria Union of Teachers, Godwin Abumisi, in seven-point recommendations, noted that for a hitch-free take off of the direct payment system, the Joint Action Committee recommends that there should be staff redistribution, placement and auditing exercise to ascertain the actual numbers of Local Government workers, primary schools teachers and pensioners.
