The assembly appreciated the contributions of the workers in the state and appealed to the State Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to suspend its ongoing strike for further fruitful negotiations.
This, the House reaffirmed that the state government is ready to pay, hence the need for more understanding from the two parties for amicable resolutions to bring the matter to an end once and for all.
The Speaker, Danladi Jatau made the appeal on Wednesday, in Lagos, during the House plenary.
