The Jigawa Government has distributed 400 units of tricycles as loan to the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in the state.
The NLC Chairman in the state, Alhaji Usman Ya’u, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Dutse.
Ya’u said that the tricycles were shared among all the registered affiliated unions in the state.
He explained that that the vehicles were given to the members at the rate of N550,000 to be paid within four years.
“The tricycles were distributed to the registered affiliated unions in the state. They were distributed according to the size of the unions; some got 40, 30, 10 and 3, depending on the number of members of the union.
“And each of the tricycles was given to the beneficiaries at the rate of N550,000 payable within four years,” he said.
The chairman added that the deduction from the beneficiaries’ salaries would commence in the current month as part of the agreement.
Ya’u, therefore, advised the beneficiaries to make good use of the vehicles so as to replenish the deduction from their salaries
