Public servants in Ogun State have commended the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, for fulfilling his promise to pay the December salary before the Yuletide.

The state chairman of the Trade Union Congress, TUC, Comrade Akeem Lasisi, gave the commendation in a message of appreciation sent to the governor on behalf of the workers.

The Governor Abiodun-led administration had on Wednesday promised to make the workers smile during the Christmas celebration by paying their December salary on time.

The state government also apologized for the staggered and delayed payment of the November salary due to hiccups at some banks.

Recalling in a statement how his administration, on resumption in May 2019, paid workers salaries despite the failure of the immediate past administration to make any provision, Governor Abiodun declared that his government would never toy with the welfare and well-being of the civil and public servants.

In the workers message, Lasisi, however, gave kudos to Governor Abiodun for walking his talk on the early payment of the December salary.

The message reads, “Workers in the state woke up, this morning, to receive their December 2022 salary.

“I want to sincerely appreciate you for saving the heads of the labour leaders.

“Instead of name calling, it was praises upon praises that you said so and it came to pass. We collected our December salary before Christmas. Thank you sir.”
