Cross River State government has paid its workers their May salaries to mark Workers’ Day .
Governor Ben Ayade, had on April 30 ordered that the May salaries of workers be paid .
This is not the first time that Ayade , whose cardinal priority had been the prompt payment of salaries, will be paying workers ahead of the due date which falls within the 25 th of every month.
In May 2016, Ayade ordered workers to be paid, while the second time was on December 1 , 2016.
Workers in the state got two months salaries in one week , as salaries for April were paid a few days ago .
State chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress , Mr . John Ushie, said the union had advised against the payment of salaries in advance .
Ushie said, “ We had advised the governor not to be paying salaries like this but he insisted. Maybe it is his own way of showing that he cares for the people . He feels he should make the life of the people better and he has expressed this by paying a month salary in advance . ”

That's his trade-mark, atleast. Better thatn other states

May?! Nice intentions sha, though from May 1 to June 25 is a long time to wait for another salary.
The advantage, however, is that receiving 2 salaries in one week creates bulk funds one can use for a tangible project.

Good!

That's a good gesture from the governor but the workers need to be prudent in spending the money because they ain't getting another pay until close to June ending!

This is not too good as by the end of may those who don't know how to save will be struggling through June

if they can't save, whose fault is it? That's a basic life skill one should have.
