Governor Obaseki pays December salaries to government workers and pensioners in the state
The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has fulfilled his promise by paying the December salaries and pensions for government workers and pensioners in Edo State. This was revealed in a statement that was signed by Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser on Media Projects. Osagie said that workers in Edo State have received their salaries and pensions on the 11th of December, 2023.
He recounted when Governor Obaseki had pledged to pay a 13th-month salary on Workers Day, as a way of appreciating the Edo State workers and to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal by FG. He added that the 13th month salary will be paid on December 27th.
Quoting verbatim, Osagie said, "The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has paid the salaries and pensions of workers and pensioners in the State for the month of December 2023."
"The Governor Obaseki-led administration pledged to pay 13th-month salary on Workers Day, as a gesture to appreciate the workers for their steadfastness and also ameliorate the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government."
"The 13th month salary is slated to be paid on December 27th, as earlier announced."
"He noted that the state government prioritizes workers’ welfare, in addition to the reforms in the public and civil service."
