The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has paid June salaries and pensions of workers and pensioners in Edo State, ahead of the Sallah celebration, in fulfillment of his promise to the workers on Wednesday, during the commissioning of the Edo State Secretariat Complex, in Benin City.
In a statement, Commissioner for Communications and Orientation, Hon. Chris Nehikhare, said, “The Edo State Governor, His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has paid June salary of workers and pensions in Edo State.
“This is in line with the government’s long-standing practice of meeting its salary obligations before the 26th of every month and to enable our Muslim brothers and sisters to have a good Sallah celebration.”
He reassured that the government will continue to prioritize the welfare of workers and pensioners in the State, noting that the holistic reforms in the public and civil service in the State have made Edo the most attractive public employer in Nigeria.
According to him, “Civil and public servants in Edo State have continued to promptly get payment of their salaries, even after raising the State’s minimum wage from N40,000 to N70,000, the highest in the country. We will continue to place a premium on the workers’ welfare, ensuring they are well-empowered and supported to deliver optimal and quality services to Edo people.”
The commissioner further stated that the Obaseki administration has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the welfare of workers and pensioners in the state, despite the economic challenges facing the country.
He added that the government’s prompt payment of salaries and pensions has earned it the reputation as one of the most worker-friendly governments in Nigeria.
“The government’s commitment to the welfare of workers and pensioners is unwavering, and we will continue to prioritize their needs in our policy decisions,” Nehikhare said.
The payment of June salaries and pensions ahead of the Sallah celebration is expected to bring joy to the homes of workers and pensioners in the state, and enable them to celebrate the festive period with ease.
The Obaseki administration has also been commended for its efforts in transforming the state’s economy, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of life of citizens.
The government’s reforms in the public and civil service have also been praised for promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the management of the state’s resources.
