THERE was jubilation by public workers in Edo State, after they received alert of the payment of their November salaries, when many states are still battling to clear the backlog of workers’ salaries and allowances.

Civil servants in the state who thronged to various banks yesterday said they had every reason to support and put in their best into the Adams Oshiomhole led administration because the government had shown responsibility to workers welfare by paying their November salaries on   November 25, in the midst of dwindling resources in the country.

Many of the workers were seen at the secretariat praying for the governor and pledging their continued support.Reacting to the development in a statement, Forum of Senior Special Assistants to Oshiomhole confirmed the  payment of workers’ salaries saying, “Before the close of work on  Wednesday, Edo State Government through an alert received on phones,  paid November salaries.

The statement by Mr. Theophilus Afuda and Mr. John Mayaki, respectively,  said: “This singular action, and flowing from previous months of prompt payment of salaries, we can boldly and confidently say  Governor Adams Oshiomhole is the first Governor in Nigeria to pay this months’  workers’ salaries.

This masterstroke is overkill from a most responsible workers’ Governor in Nigeria, especially so, at a time the country and state  governments are in financial despair and experiencing dwindling revenue  and uncertainties.

We say overkill because this is landmark precedence for the-would-be  successor to begin to devise the Oshiomhole skills to achieve this feat. We all must pray that we do not get a lesser sterling governor post Oshiomhole.

“This issue will form a big part of our debate as it relates to Adams Oshiomhole’s stewardship so far in Edo State and beyond but unfortunately, desperate critics have cautiously avoided this public  discourse of Adams Oshiomhole’s efficient economic management.

“We cannot pretend to have forgotten so soon, how workers in this state were owed salaries spanning several months by previous administrations.”

When did payment of salary become a big deal that people are jubilating and praising the governor. Didn't they not work for it? Was payment of salary ever a big deal in the previous FG's regime. We are really going backwards in this country.

Meanwhile, the FG along with many other states are yet to pay their workers. It is well

When did payment of salary become a big deal that people are jubilating and praising the governor. Didn't they not work for it? Was payment of salary ever a big deal in the previous regime of Obasanjo or Yar Adua or even Jonathan. We are really going backwards in this country. 

Meanwhile, the FG along with many other states are yet to pay their workers. It is well. This is what you get when a dullard is elected as president. Only God can help us now.
