Ekiti owes workers N57bn salary, pension arrears – Fayemi reveals
Fayemi said the arrears covered outstanding salary, pension, promotion, leave bonus and other emoluments from 2014 till October 2018 when he assumed office.
He said he would honour his pledge to pay all outstanding workers’ benefits, but clarified that some will be given immediate attention while some will be defrayed instalmentally. On the issue of autonomy, Fayemi said he was never opposed to the idea of giving financial independence to the third tier of government, being the closest to the grassroots.
He said he had earmarked some funds for the Ministry of Environment to undertake erosion and flood control projects in some towns, in view of the recent flooding that ravaged Ado Ekiti and other towns, of which civil servants were major victims.
