/ AFP PHOTO / BOUREIMA HAMARepresentative of Ikole/Oye federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Kehinde Agboola, has said the anticipated increase in workers salary may not be realised.
He said this was because the Federal Government did not make provision for it in the 2018 budget estimates.
Agboola, who is Vice Chairman, House Committee on Drugs and Narcotics in the House of Representatives noted that President Muhammadu Buhari did not capture the provisions for salary increase in the 2018 budget, saying: “It was a deceit to portray them as being workers’ friendly.”
Speaking at Odo-Oro Ekiti in Ikole Local Council of Ekiti State yesterday, Agboola, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the president would not increase salaries without budgetary provision for it, saying the measure may fail.
