GOVERNOR Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, has approved the payment of N10, 000 to 50,196 workers in the state public service for the next three months to cushion the hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and the downward spiral of the naira against the dollar.


Oborevwori who announced the approval on Tuesday while swearing-in 26 Commissioners into the State Executive Council, said the payment would start from August, adding that the staff figure included employees of the ten higher institutions in the state.

 He also approved that workers from salary grade Levels 1-14 should run shifts, with  first batch Mondays to Wednesdays and second batch, Thursday to Friday.

He said: “This schedule will be implemented on a rotational basis. Those who work from Monday-Wednesday in one week will work Thursday to Friday the following week to ensure fairness and equity.  The schedule for officers from salary grade Levels 15 and above is to be worked out by the various MDAs as it is suitable for them.

“However, staff on essential services must be on duty while working remotely is also encouraged. The other arms of government – the judiciary and legislature – are to work out their modalities as they deem fit.   

“As you are aware, local government workers are not under the administration of the state.  However, we have held consultations with the leadership of ALGON and it is our earnest expectation that ALGON will implement the same palliative measures for its workers.

“In line with my electoral promise, I recently approved the payment of outstanding promotion arrears to twenty-three thousand, eight hundred and eighty-seven (23,887) workers in the state public service.

“The total amount payable is five billion, five hundred and twenty-two million, six hundred and thirty-seven thousand, eight hundred and forty-eight naira, and five kobo (N5, 522,637, 848.05). The payment commences from this month of August and will be made in four tranches.


According to him, “the thorny issue of unpaid local government pensions is nearing final resolution. My administration helped to secure legislative approval for the local government councils to obtain a N40b bank loan to enable them liquidate their backlog of pension liabilities."

Fuel and the above listed and more currently becomes 5 times their cost and u increase salary by 100 percent is if what use? When half of your salary could by 1 sack of rice, now even with 100 % increase in salary, it can't buy 1 sack.Nigeria is as good as dead
