“The Governor Obaseki-led administration made the pledge to pay 13th-month salary on Workers Day, as a gesture to appreciate the workers for their steadfastness and also ameliorate the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.
“The 13th month salary is slated to be paid on December 27th, as earlier announced.”
He noted that the state government prioritises workers’ welfare, in addition to the reforms in the public and civil service.
