People should enjoy the change they clamored for. ..blacks need to suffer. .we are made to suffering see no reason why humans should vote for thieves as governors...only happens in black nigeria...

Oh.. they should have continue with the PDP that owe them all that salaries? people from your region are daft, Dickson is owing 9month salaries and still counting and next election they might still vote for him to the senate and also PDP back to Government house so who need to suffer more?

Incompetence!....
When you promised workers that you will offset their salaries during campaign, you didn't know this abi? keep exposing your incompetence this early morning of your government

If he gives up his salary for 6 months he will be able to pay these people! Waive for what? So they're working for free? What rubbish!! Pay them their money biko!

Nonsense and Rubbish talk!

So civil servants owing house rents or have borrowed from creditors in anticipation to pay whenever the "Insensible" government pay up should go and tell the landlords and creditors to forget there money too?

What kind of leaders do we have in this country?

Kai!

I no know wetin to call this kyn one....

rubbish. dont use workers salaries for friendship. probe your predecessor to know how he managed ondo state resources.

The money being owed was owed by the last PDP government. Now in the abundance of your wisdom, your best suggestion of a solution is for Ondo people to have perpetuated the same PDP?.... E be like say somebody head dey pain am

3 months after, Mimiko is still walking free without any harassment from EFCC.. I always knew he sold out Ondo state to APC in the last election. Perhaps his compensation is not to be probed and be left off the hook.. Useless and worthless country.

SalamRushdie:



At least the Bayelsa man is not telling people to waive all the wages they are bing owed ..that is the height of insensitivity , callousness , wickedness, diabolism and bad leadership ..That governor needs to have his head checked

LOL the Bayelsa man know he cornered their salaries for his own selfish and sweet mouthing them with fail promises..


The Only state Governor was not the one that owe the bills and know it will be very hard to clear #80billion bills when there are lots to be done with that kind of money in that state...


Well i think being honest about things has become poison to some people..

what about reducing the allowances paid to ex governors and thier deputies? what about eliminating some unnecessary allowances collected by public office holders in the state and even reducing others? what about dropping those unnecessary aides and special assistants? what about reducing the cost of running the government and selling off some assets not needed and not useful? what about retrieving stolen funds? what about brainstorming and finding ways to generate income for the state? will these moves not add more money to the state treasury?
if this is the option that the governor has then he must be very dull and wicked.

brightballer:
Arakunrin Akeredolu, like I always maintain, has nothing to offer Ondo state.

When Kayode Fayemi, Ibikunle Amosun, Yahaya Bello and the other boys under the canopy of the Presidency invaded Ondo with bags filled with naira notes, with a ward getting as "low" as #7million, I warned my people the end won't be sweet.

It's not even 3months yet.

If they dont vote, it wouldnt have made any difference either

Is it not same Ondo state with IGR more than that of all the states in SE combined?

fotadmowmend:
This is possible only if workers can also tell people they owe also to waive it

The circus show has started. When its time for him to leave, another governor will come and the civil servants to waive one year salaries.

faladeSM1132:
Ondo State, can you see now that no politician in Nigeria worthy of our standing under the sun to cast vote for........
.
This is Akeredolu that promised to pay workers outstanding from day one, Now you've voted for him to the throne of an excellency .....
it's time to show you the other side of Nigerian politics,
ondo state workers!!!!
that is your cross and you must carry it for 4 years

Is he going to pay it from his own account?

This is Mimiko's burden and he has to clear it. This why politicians must be sure of what they're walking into before making promises. Mimiko's was boasting he left certain amount... While he owed workers salaries. Why didn’t Momiko settle the workers instead of leaving money for Akeredolu?
He'd better go look for the money because workers ain't going hear all that crap.

Abeg sell your state buy taxi what sort of inept statement be this ?

"He said the government workers must be prepared to “pay the sacrifices” of waiving their salaries as part of their own contributions to the economic development of the state".

Just imagine the senseless statement up there

Lubbish! How dare he request that civil servants should waive their outstanding salaries

What a country we live in - Politicians are heartless indeed

EFCC, Mr Mimiko and Rotimi Akeredolu needs some explaining to do

Believe me, there are other hidden statements in that report.
And the simple message was that: waive and let maintain the current workforce or don't waive, we will pay but expect massive retrenchment.
The government was giving them to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea.

larrybee2017:
Who be this imbicile talking trash here? I'm sure he can't truly be a governor. How much is he willing to sacrifice from his own salary to offset the bill of people whose sweat and time was use in accumulating the salary being paid to me him? Are no longer a nation? Have we truly lost our senses as a nation or we are just the animal people call us?
What is happening to APC? If they don't know what to do why can't they hand over power to those who knows. So this fool CNT think of what to do to generate income, and yet we still see people following them with broom all around. When a hole was found in the umbrella and we felt the touch of the rain, we were all angry and needed to sweep them out, but now that the broom is no longer useful we can burn it to ashes

Please, who are those who knows,
Because, this salary issue was left by the past pdp government, Momiko?
Do we have an incorruptible politician in Nigeria?

He should know that all these workers have taken loans at different places, bought things on credit as well. He should go ahead and tell those the civil servants are owing to also waive all that.

To me, it's heartless, senseless, irrational and uncalled for, for any government owing his workers to think of any project.

Some are even building irrelevant fly overs and co.

Useless governors u forfeit your salaries and allowance and that of your commisioners, special assitants and special advisers for 1 year at least with it workers salaries could be paid off. Only the masses that keeps making sacrifices to finance the luxury of a few. Heartless dogs. Na d docile masses that choose to be feed with crap.
Blacks have shown they can never rule or govern themselves.
No hope for Nigeria

The governor explained that it was becoming increasingly difficult to use state funds to offset workers’ accumulated and outstanding salaries and arrears.

Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has begged civil servants in the state workforce to waive their outstanding salaries and arrears owed by the immediate past government.

Mr. Akeredolu made the plea when the committee on arrears of salaries of state public servants submitted its final report at the cocoa conference hall in Akure.

Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi headed the committee, which was inaugurated on the March 7, 2017.

The governor explained that it was becoming increasingly difficult to use state funds to offset workers’ accumulated and outstanding salaries and arrears.

He said the government workers must be prepared to “pay the sacrifices” of waiving their salaries as part of their own contributions to the economic development of the state.

“We have said this many times, we must be prepared to pay sacrifices because we don’t borrow money to pay salaries. If they (workers) meet and say they waive two months, we will be glad, but if they insist on having the full arrears, we will look for ways of paying,” Mr. Akeredolu said.

“I will have to address the workers to let them know that it’s not possible to use all our money to pay salaries,” he added.

He promised that the All Progressives Congress-led government in the state would endeavor to not owe civil servants’ salaries accruing from his assumption of office in February 2017.

“I know it is not easy but it is also getting increasingly difficult for the government, too, but whatever we do, we will try not to owe salaries,” the governor said.

SaharaReporters learned that the governor has paid three months’ salaries - February, March and April - to the government workers of the state.

Our correspondent reported that Mr. Akeredolu has also paid one out of six months’ outstanding salaries owed to the workers by the immediate past governor, Olusegun Mimiko.

Mr. Akeredolu stated that the government would, however, look inwardly for solutions by increasing the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in order to help address issues of funds in the state treasury.

Submitting the report, Mr. Agboola claimed that of the total salaries owed to civil servants, N38.57 billion was owed to the workers by the immediate past government of Mr. Mimiko.

The deputy governor disclosed that the figure was excluding an additional N41.5 billion which represents outstanding gratuities.

“What the government is owing now is N34.5 billion, representing five months’ salaries as against the six months we met on board and it is outside the N41.5 billion representing outstanding gratuities.”

In June 2016, former Governor Olusegun Mimiko declared that the monthly wage bill, including pensions, of Ondo State was N3.9 billion.

Mr. Mimiko disclosed the figure while pacifying state workers during one of their protests at the front of the government house in Akure before leaving office.

Political pundits have been asking Mr. Mimiko's successor, Mr. Akeredolu, to declare the true figure of the state monthly wage bill since he promised government transparency after being sworn-in as governor.



Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu

Just try and wave all your allowances as governor including your 1 year salary
