Gov. Obaseki pays December salaries, pensions to workers in Edo

The December salaries and pensions for state employees and retirees have been disbursed by Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Crusoe Osagie, the Special Advisor on Media Projects to the Governor of Edo State, stated in a statement that employees and retirees received their pay and benefits in the early hours of Monday, December 11, 2023, in accordance with the earlier pronouncement to that effect.

He said, “The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has paid the salaries and pensions of workers and pensioners in the State for the month of December 2023.

 “The Governor Obaseki-led administration made the pledge to pay 13th-month salary on Workers Day, as a gesture to appreciate the workers for their steadfastness and also ameliorate the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.

“The 13th month salary is slated to be paid on December 27th, as earlier announced.”

He noted that the state government prioritises workers’ welfare, in addition to the reforms in the public and civil service.
