Another civil servant has committed suicide over unpaid salaries
and this time around, it is in Kwara State.
The deceased, Mr. Biodun Bashir is said to be a staff of
the Universal Basic Education (UBE) in Kwara State at Oyun Local
Government.
According
to Abdulrazaq O Hamzat, Kwara Must Change, the group regretted “to bring to
public attention, the death of
Mr Biodun Bashir, a staff of Universal Basic Education (UBE) in Kwara State at Oyun Local Government, who recently hung himself to death over failure of the Kwara State Government to pay workers salaries and their continued denial of owing workers.”

“The staff,
Mr Biodun Bashir a.k.a. ‘Legal’, who is a driver working under UBE committed
suicide by hanging on Saturday, 28th October 2017.
“According
to those familiar with the incident, Mr. Biodun, like other workers have been
living under severe hardship for many years without any hope of improvement.
“While the
state government owes workers several months’ salaries, they continued to claim
they do not owe in the media, a false propaganda that continues to cause
depression to many workers. This is so because, the denial of government
implies that they do not intend to pay what they owe workers,” and it is
important “to add that, while the death of Mr Biodun Bashir as a result of the
wicked act of Kwara state government filter to public hears, there are several
other worst cases not heard in the public. We are left to wonder how many workers
have died of hunger, ill health and others without public attention.
