By: Emmanuel Onotevure in Asaba.
Reports trending in Delta state reveals that, the state Governor, Senator Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa has ordered the release of the sum of Five Billion Naira to clear off the backlog of salary arrears for employees in the state.
A statement by Barrister Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Executive Assistant on Communications to the Delta State Governor, described His Excellency as a consumate leader with uncommon passion for human capital development, who places top priority on the welfare and well-being of workers in the state.
Oghenesivbe made this assertion in a swift reaction to the release of bilions of naira as full and final settlement of local government workers salary backlog.
He said the governor graciously and happily released a total sum of N5 billion in the aira, being amount required to pay the backlog of local government workers from May 29, 2015 till date, noting that this singular kind gesture of Gov Okowa has engraved his name in gold as a reliable promise keeper.
Gov Okowa's EA on Communications further disclosed that there has been wild jubilation by LGA workers across the state since the news of the payment rocked the air waves, adding that the Chairman of ALGON in the state, Hon Constantine Ikpokpo immediately commended the state government and the Smart Governor for putting smile on the faces of LGA workers, yet again.
"When the righteous are in power, the people rejoice, which is why there has been endless celebration accross the state, in appreciation of the noble assistance by Okowa administration for helping LGAs to clear their huge backlog of unpaid salaries, which is no fault of the state government.
"The delay was largely traced to APC national government induced economic recession, coupled with the drastic fall in price of crude oil at the international market; making it almost impossible for the local governments to meet their financial obligations to workers as well as other sundry expenses.
"Gov Okowa repeatedly promised to assist LGAs clear salary arears as soon as the state financial situation improves. It is a well known fact that government has increased her earnings through Internally generated revenues (IGR) as well as improved federal allocation to states, which prompted the total payment of Local Councils salary backlog spanning over three years.
"We are pretty sure that APC propagandists shall henceforth re-direct their surplus energies to productive ventures; because for three straight years, Delta APC and it's waring leaders have always based their vexation and media contents solely on the backlog of LGAs salary arrears.
"Gov Okowa's second tenure (2019-2023) shall by far be more successful in terms of infrastructure and socioeconomic development across the state; more and more capital projects shall be executed in the three senatorial districts while workers welfare remain top priority of government." Oghenesivbe assured.
