There was wild jubilation in Calabar, on Sunday, as the state Governor, Professor Ben Ayade stunned labour leaders and workers when he announced the payment of salaries for the month of May on the first day of the month.
A mild drama immediately ensued when the workers who were at the U.J. Esuene Stadium for the May Day celebration each began to receive salary payment alert from their various banks. Unable to contain the excitement, shouts of Alert! Alert!, rent the stadium as the workers went into a frenzy, singing the praises of the governor. Before now, the governor had paid salaries between the 13th and 20th day of each month. Ayade told the workers, who named him the Best Labour Friendly Governor in Nigeria, that his administration had a duty to give workers in the state a sense of dignity.

This is good news to only the wise and frugals but it is a tale of woes to the spendthrifts, the next 30 days no be hia o!

As for the governor's gesture, I reserve my comments.

Wait....

Totally irresponsible.

Glad to receive alert for a service not rendered? What if he pays next month's salary at the end of next month...?irresponsibility at its peak!

It was workers day so the Gov did well. If those affected are happy, it means the Governor must have really done well. I don't see why persons who no workers of that state shud condemn that.
