BENIN—THE Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in Edo State has commended the
state governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, for the prompt payment of workers’
salaries, describing the state as lucky, unlike some other states in the country.
Chairman of NLC in the state, Emmanuel Ademokun, in a statement, described
Oshiomhole’s seven years reign as a huge success, pointing out that the
governor’s efforts in blocking leakages in the ministries had yielded fruit.
He appealed to governors of other states to emulate Governor Oshiomhole in the
payment of salaries, saying, “It is very sad today that some of our colleagues
went home for Christmas and New Year without getting their November and
December salaries.
“That is why we sincerely thank our governor for his unflinching commitment in
the payment of worker’s salaries up to date. Our governor has clearly shown
that he is a man of distinction who sees workers as assets and not liabilities.”
It will be recalled that Edo workers went into jubilation on the 21st of December
after they received alerts for the payment of December salaries from the state
government.
