The Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki has approved the payment of 13th month salary to the state’s civil and public servants effective December 2023.
Obaseki gave the approval on Monday during an engagement with Edo State civil and public servants at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub in Benin City.
The governor, who said he was on a thank you mission after a successful Edo House of Assembly election, emphasized that the 13th month salary payment approval comes with a deal, which is: “I do for you, you do for Edo.”
According to the Governor, deal implies that the civil and public servants of Edo State must be more productive in delivering efficient and quality services as the engine of the state’s economy.
It will be recalled that Edo has never paid 13th month salary. Some critics who faulted the Governor’s geek gift are of the view that he would have at least given workers loan of one million Naira minimum, so they can do better things with it.
