It's amazing that state Civil servant are not receiving 30k minimum wage, rather Nyesom Wike the evil man padded 10k for BSc 12k for MSc etc across board he never paid us 30k minimum wage.

Now Governor Fubara has ordered that local government workers be paid 30k minimum wage as well as 35k palliative wage award.

When are we in the state going to get our 30k minimum wage and 35k wage award? This is so unfair.

This country and state is retrogressive we cannot continue like this in the face of economic hardship and land mass poverty.

It's improper for the governor to order LGA bosses to pay what he the governor hasn't paid. He who goes to equity must do so with clean hands. The governor must lead by example.

Hardship: Lagos teachers to receive N35,000 as monthly palliative allowance

The Lagos State Government has decided to pay the same amount of money, which is N35,000, as a monthly palliative allowance to its primary school teachers, just as it has been done for the secondary school teachers and other civil servants in state employment since January.


The state’s commissioner for basic and secondary Education, Mr Jamiu Alli-Balogun, dropped this hint during a stakeholders meeting between the officials of the ministry and the leadership of the state’s chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) held in his office on Wednesday.

According to a statement made available by the head of the public affairs unit of the ministry, Mr Ganiu Lawal, on Thursday, the commissioner disclosed that the state’s governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had already approved the parity in the payment, directing that all the primary school teachers should also now be paying the same N35,000 with other civil servants against the N20,000 they were paid before.

The wage award is a palliative allowance to lessen the financial burdens due to economic hardship on the state’s government workers, just like many other Nigerians pending when the national minimum wage review will be completed.

In his remarks about the development, NUT State’s chairman, who led the executive committees to the meeting, Mr Hassan Akintoye, commended the state government and Governor Sanwo-Olu in particular for the gesture.

He stated that the development would certainly appease the grievances of teachers at that level of education against the initial disparity.

While appreciating the state government for its unwavering love for teachers and the development of education generally in the state, the NUT boss promised a stronger commitment of teachers to the state education development.

He said teachers’ roles in providing quality education for the people of the state are unquantifiable.

[quote author=MaksLove post=128673674]Same union that has no concern for teachers welfare. They should go and protest by themselves. [/quote
As for me, I don't have time to willingly participate in anything that concerns NUT because the Union is as good as useless .

People are still talking about adding 35k wage award on this coming salary. I pray let it be true, and someone who has someone can confirm from his source. Please!

dmercy141983:
Definitely we shouldn't expect it by February. Let's wait till March

Ok

dmercy141983:
So shall it be, I am very sure about 35k palliative money, as for that minimum wage of 30k I am skeptical but hopeful.

Please the 35k you're sure of, are we to expect it with this February salary? Thank you.

Oriuwa:
That there was a very serious meeting between the Accountant General and the Finance and Accounts Directors, that they will not pay every civil servant so that they will have something to share amongst themselves.
I do not believe it, though. But I also know we are in Rivers State where anything can happen.

I am comfortably saying that this rumour is bogus, fallacious, mendacious, fake and from the deepest (buttom) pit of hell.
Those that are yet to get paid will receive theirs before 5pm on Wednesday.

• Says human capital development fastest way to develop city

Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has approved one hundred thousand naira (100.000.00) for the Christmas bonus for all the state civil servants.

According to the governor, human capital development remains the fastest way to positively develop a city.

Nwifuru made the pronouncement on Thursday during the maiden edition of Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s pet projects tagged “The Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Elderly Support Scheme (RHIESS)” with the theme “Better Days Ahead.”

Governor Nwifuru, however, assured the state civil servants that he would upgrade them to meet up with their contemporaries in other states for the benefit of the still-growing state.

“I said the workers of this state must leave like others in this Christmas period; if you are celebrating the birth of Christ in your home and you gain in this festive period, you are not celebrating the birth of Christ. You are supposed to feel that this person who came to salvage your troubles should be celebrated.

“You need to be a blessing to your neighbours and your home. As a leader of this state, I have to be a blessing in the homes of everybody in this state, so it is not a privilege. The fact that I am the governor of this state does not mean that all the resources of this state belong to me.

“So sincerely, I have resolved with the cuscus of this state that I have decided that every worker in the Ebonyi state government, not the local government, because I’m not in charge of the LGA, will get a 100 thousand naira package for this Christmas celebration.”

. Says we’ll continue to prioritise infrastructure

Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has declared that his administration will pay the 13th month salary to workers in the state for the fifth year running, noting that workers will receive the payment before December 31.

Governor Makinde made the declaration on Sunday while speaking at the Oyo State’s 2023 Christmas Carol Service and Nine Lessons Service, held at the Remembrance Arcade, Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, with the theme: “Unto us a child is born.”

The governor maintained that his administration will continue to prioritise the welfare of workers, infrastructure development and other critical sectors in the state.

Noting that whatever success his government has achieved was due to the contributions of all members of his team and the civil servants, the governor said: “To my team, I want to say thank you for your support throughout the year and even for the civil servants. Whatever we might have achieved were jointly achieved.

“For four years running, we paid 13th month salary. And again, we will pay the 13th month salary before the end of the year.”

Good afternoon colleagues. I just heard that governor SIM want to pay salary bonus (13th month) to civil servants in the state. Please can someone confirm this info. Thank you.

Abia State Commissioner for Information briefing journalists today on the outcome of State Executive Council meeting.
UMUAHIA – Abia State Government says it will give workers in the state a welfare package that will make them smile by doubling their salaries this month, December 2023, known in the organized labour circle as 13th month.


The State Commissioner for Information and Culture, Prince Okey Kanu who dropped this hint while briefing the press on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting at the Government House, Umuahia, said this is to make workers in the state to enjoy a blissful Christmas for the first time in the state.

He disclosed that the government will design a plan to clear the leave allowances, and overtime owed to workers in the state, adding that what the administration is planning now is how to offset the huge arrears of salaries, pensions and gratuities.

[quote author=Kindsoul55 post=127408167]CIVIL SERVANTS APPLAUDS GOVERNOR FUBARA – DEMANDS #35,000 FG SALARY AWARD AND CHRISTMAS BONUS - Gist
The Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU), Rivers State Council, applauds the administration of Sir Siminalayi Fubara, acknowledging his desire to implemented the N35, 000 salary award for the workers if not for the temporary setback caused by the ill-fated impeachment saga in the State.


Comrade Chukwuka Richman Osumah, the Rivers State Chairman of NCSU, while briefing the press in Port Harcourt equally appealed to Governor Fubara to pay the Federal Government approved N35,000 salary award and Christmas bonus to the civil servants this month to cushion the rising cost of living and for a seamless yuletide celebration, Speaking further he said “civil servants in the State had for several years been denied Christmas bonus by successive administrations that never had the interest of the people at heart”.

He, noted that Governor Fubara is workers friendly, expressing optimism that Governor Fubara would do the needful to make civil servants in the State comfortable and happy, coming from a civil servant background and rising through rank and files to the exalted position of an Executive Governor.

Osumah said the Rivers State Government ought to have started implementing the salary award since September when it was approved; adding that further delay of the implementation would entail unnecessary accumulation of the arrears.

He used the opportunity to reaffirm the unflinching support of the workers to the present administration, going by its giant development strides within a short period of time, calling on the workers to rally round the present administration, and to be dedicated and committed to their duties for productivity and service delivery.

It has been on record that since the administration of Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, civil servants in the State had not been paid Christmas bonus. An ugly trend that had brought excruciating pains on civil servants in the state throughout the tenures of previous administration.
Super Story ! The current governor has already joined their trend of not paying salary arrears as well as Christmas Bonus. I'm highly disappointed.

Purity001:
Today is gradually going.
Nothing, nothing.

I just got a concrete information that salary will start dropping today before close of work.

NKTams:
I heard we will be paid 13months this year.

Who can confirm this?

Purity001:

This his pattern no make sense at all.
Hmmm! na small small like this en dey take start. before you know it, he will begin dey owe workers like the immediate past governor of Abia state in the name of Okezie Ikpeazu.

downbad:
If it hasn't dropped by now it wouldn't drop again today. No?

Is like today's hope has ended up a hopeless one as regards to our expected salary.

Zenith bank people in the house, please we are expecting the good news from you as usual. Make una make us happy.

Good afternoon all and happy Sunday. I welcome you to the week of Revenue allocation (FAAC) in Nigeria. Have a great week as we hope our promotion arrears, wage award and December bonus would be magnanimously paid to us by Governor Sim of all networks. Oshe!

Good morning brethren. Any information about our arrears or are we to forget about it as usual?

ikem50:
I am waiting patiently to hear the news of the wage award from Rivers State.

Pls someone say something, verified or unverified.
There is that Joy that comes with it.
Lol

My dear, except the former governor removed hand from Rivers State today, if not, he can never allow SIM to pay that money to Rivers workers

onlyhandsome202:
Let's tell ourselves the truth, Wike actually promoted us and also implemented the promotion before leaving office. Sim only paid us, while we are also greatfull to Sim for paying us let's not forget Wike too because if he didn't direct the accelerated promotion, heaven will not fall. People giving credit to Sim alone for me, is not balanced.

My dear, Wike didn't implement any promotion because he didn't even pay a single ministry nor parastatal till he left office.

Rivers State Governor, Fubara Sacks Wike’s Loyalist
factualtimesng.com
33 minutes ago

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has reportedly sacked his Chief-of-Staff, Chidi Amadi and the Government House Chief Security Officer, Promise Wosu amid rumors of his impeachment in office.

Fubara sacked Chidi Amadi and Wosu who are loyalists of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Recall that Amadi served as Chief of Staff to Wike during his tenure as Governor.

That king “Harold" called “WIKED" should leave governor SIM alone. Just because SIM has refused to be as wicked and devilish as he is, he now want to remove him. Last year Rivers State was the second in revenue generation in Nigeria according to NBS but the WIKED man refused to give workers even ordinary December bonus not to talk about promotion and yearly increments. Now he has carried his wickedness to FCT workers as he has already cut their October 2023 salaries citing useless reasons as if he is the first person to occupy that position. God will judge him.

Sau24:
Do you believe the information is real?

I didn't believe it's true that is why I asked if someone heard the same.

Sau24:
So just because of zonal board director, Arrears were suspended.You are not serious.What is the business of zonal board chairman and payment of arrears from the ministry?

I just said what I heard and also asked for someone here to verify if it's true. However, you are putting it to me as if am the one who said so. I asked you to find out if it's true. That's all.

The information I just received now is that the arrears payment has been suspended due to some teachers (SSSB) who protested against the toking demanded by a Zonal Board director for collection of their payslips.
Did anyone heard the same? Someone should please check and confirm the veracity of this information. Thank you.

onlyhandsome202:
Congratulations, give your own instructions based on what you observed there. What did they tell you will happen next?

Nothing o! I was just asked to go that's all. Meanwhile, I went to the other section to collect my payslip but I was told that September payslip was unavailable while August payslip wasn't complete, that is, some computer numbers aren't there.

Finally, I have submitted my Teachers Registration Certificate today at the SSSB portharcourt successfully. I followed the instructions given by Chibuking on this platform and it was as easy as spending our salaries.

There's a big hope that we are going to receive our arreas by next week or next two weeks.

AmigdaloidMeteo:
Please, who has information on how to go about my pension deduction.
My pension is not been deducted, how do I go about it?

If you can save the money by yourself in a separate account without touching it, better for you because if you listen and see what the pensioners are going through you would be forced to have a rethink.
