About 100 staff members of the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency have approached the Appeal Court in Port Harcourt for leave to appeal a decision made by the National Industrial Court. These workers, who had not received their salaries since 2017, were dismissed by the state government. In October 2021, the National Industrial Court issued a judgment declaring the workers' employment status and instructing the state government to pay their salaries and emoluments.
However, the government has not complied with the order. The workers have now sought permission from the Court of Appeal to reverse the lower court's decision, claiming the government has refused to pay their salaries.
