Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has lauded
himself for ensuring that workers in the State does not experience a bleak
Yuletide.
Akeredolu who assured the workers in his New Year message of
commitment to their welfare, stated that he will not relent towards ensuring
that the backlog of salaries are cleared.
Civil servants in the State who were been owed salaries had
been receiving percentage salaries since early 2021.
With August salary paid on December 30, 2021, Akeredolu in a statement issued by his Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Donald Ojogo, stated that with the payment, the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in the State has been able to beat the record of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2016.
According to Ojogo, the immediate-past administration under
PDP in the State abandoned the workforce “in the face of excruciating economic
hardship, in preference for hasty personal exit plans by principal actors in
that Government.”
In the statement, Ojogo added that the balance of 35 percent
of June salary, as well as 100 percent for July were at once.
While adding that the workers received 100 percent of August
salary, he maintained that the corresponding payments of leave bonuses has also
been paid in three tranches.
“More than ever, we were determined to confine to their
(PDP) time, the unenviable record of 2016 when workers in the State had the
most horrendous season since the creation of the State.
“Workers spent their Yuletide season in hunger and pains.
Some died along the line,” he said.
