Civil servants and teachers in Ekiti State agitating for the payment of their outstanding September salaries got a piece of bad news from the state chief executive on Friday.

Governor Ayo Fayose told them to forget the payment of the salary at least for now.

The governor who disclosed his decision while featuring on his monthly media chat, “Meet Your Governor”, said the precarious financial situation of the state would not allow him to pay workers September salaries.

Fayose also revealed that governors of Jigawa, Adamawa and Katsina States sent rams and cows to him as part of their contributions to his “stomach infrastructure” agenda for Christmas celebrations.

He explained that he took the step in his desire to make Ekiti people happy and ensure that they do not go hungry during the festive season.

While urging workers in the state to exercise patient with his administration, Fayose emphasized that the financial position of the state is so bad to the extent that he had reached an agreement with some banks to give the state what he called “financial leeway” for six months to enable him pay salaries.

The governor explained that the deductions from the allocation of the state from the Bond sourced by the last administration and commercial loans obtained from banks had adversely affected the state finances.

Fayose pointedly told civil servants, teachers and other government workers to stop complaining and adjust themselves to the prevailing realities maintaining that he would not be deceiving them on issues affecting governance.

He said, “I became governor on October 16 and that is two months and ten days now and I want to state categorically that I have managed resources of the state very well.

“Now coming here to tell the people that I will pay September salaries, no, no, I will not say that. The salaries I am paying now, I had interface with banks to give me leeway for six months to be able to arrange myself, “Fayose declared.

May Ūя̲̅ days be long!

Stomach infrastructure first!

What salaries do they want again? I though they are all belefull with stomach infrastructure, chicken and rice....

After the drama, trash talk and comedy and free chicken and rice, the painful realities of governance is now setting in...

U na neva jamm ...You reap what you sow

I somehow like dis dude.

I somehow like dis dude.

Especially if you are not one of the unpaid civil savants with mouths to feed and bills to pay...

Are this people truly this poor?
FG need to setup special poverty alleviation program for Ekiti and other Yoruba states

As long as you guys have not decided to accept the following below,

Poverty will keep making flesh until it becomes what we can see physically


Resource control

Fiscal federalism

Privatization

Political federalism

Decentralization of Nigeria

Restructuring of Nigeria

Institutions submitting their quarterly activities to public scrutiny


Which are the fastest route to economic diversification , citizenry prosperity and political greatness

How did he become Governor in the first place

How many votes will it take you to know? how many terms will it take you to know? You go know oooo...
Take chicken till you go yo! take ricey till you go yo!
Who needs salary when they can have free chicken from his excellency

The price for Awo supporting Gowon in retaining the unitary system because of the false hope of becoming President

Is


Regional poverty

Why didn't Fayemi pay September Salary? What is wrong with our political leaders? What is/was the justification for witholding salaries of workers? Is it political? This is immoral and a big shame. However, Fayose should understand that government is a continuum. Being the helmsman, it is a must that he pay workers rather than hiding under the cloak of "we are broke". He must look for ways to generate fund and offset the outstanding salary bill. He should stop insulting the sensibility of ekiti indigens with his "stomach infrastructure". God help our country

Abeg make those people no use cry disturb us, they brought it upon theirselves, sebi de don eat rice and chicken, wetin de wan use salary do again
Up Ekiti
Up stomach infrastructure

Is the state really that broke?

Ekiti will surely be re branded after the monumental destruction by Fayemi of APC.

RockMaxi:
Talking about September salary in December yet no hope for payment...
This is what Ekiti people chose for themselves. Bad.

Keep waiting for oil wealth instead of fighting to control your resources and taxes in order to use it to wipe out poverty

Some workers be like "Provided the 'stomach infrastructure' is going well, we don't need our salaries again. You can keep it for all we care." Keep enjoying enduring Fayose till 2018!

Hmmmmmm..............



Hmmmmmmm.........

Hmmmmmm.........

I reserved my comment.

Does this mean he [Fayose] has paid October - December salaries

Good question: what makes Fayemi not to pay September salary before leaving

Can't Tinubu borrow Fayemi money to pay

I presume the guy have already collected all available loans, hence no more opportunities.

honestly, for no reason should workers be owed, especially civil servants. Fayemi should have paid the monies.

Thank you!

You are not one of them

It is a shame when we refused to say the truth and allow partisanship to cloud our sense of reasoning.

Seeing some APC members, the so called progressive trying to pass the bucks to Fayoose.
