The Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, has said his administration fulfilled its promise not to owe workers’ salaries in the state by paying the workers as and when due.
He stated that the state workers had received their salaries up until November 2022, but the delay in the December salary was due to the advice of the labour leaders in the state to allow workers to meet their new year’s financial obligations.
Akeredolu said this at the annual prayer meeting with the state public servants on Tuesday, the first working day of the year, held at the governor’s office in Akure, the state capital. The governor, however, assured the workers that their December salary will be paid soon, while also promising that the one month remaining from the inherited seven months of salary arrears would also be paid before the end of his tenure.
Addressing the workers, the governor said, “As you are aware, you received three alerts in December. We paid for October and November 2022. You also received a leave bonus. We would have paid in December, but the labour leaders advised that we delay it until January to allow you to meet your financial obligations. Students will resume soon. We will pay the school fees.
