It will be recalled that the organized labour in Kogi state on Friday cancelled the celebration of Workers’ Day otherwise known as May Day due to the screening review and complaints committee report and non-payment of salaries that has lingered for over 13 months coupled with the closure of state owned tertiary institutions without any serious commitment of government as well as other security reasons.
