This is wonderful! I hope our friend from kogi state do same

This is a welcome development. I am happy that Governor Dickson has taken this step...


Caseless over to you

Good one sir

I can't believe my eyes ooooo, i can imagine the heart of workers as they go home with smile on their faces. #DicksonFallOnMe

Him try. He can do better though.

Hope Ajimobi of Oyo state can do the needful, biko, we're yet to receive October and November. Pensioners too are clamouring for some month to be paid....the last payment was for February

Though I see many people happy at this development, it is wrong to pay salaries this late. December salaries ought to be paid on or before 18th December to enable people prepare adequately for Xmas.

Tomorrow is Friday and the last HALF working day before xmas and these people might not still get this salary tomorrow.

Still, at all at all na winch
