I have kept my promise not to owe workers - Akeredolu

- Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, says he has kept to his promise not to owe workers salaries

- According to the governor, his administration will balance its duty to the people and the civil servants

- The governor, who says his administration has enjoyed the cooperation of the civil servants., urges the latter to tender their complaints if they have any

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state has said the state has kept to its promise of improving workers' welfare and paying their salaries at the right time, adding that his administration would balance its duty to the people and the civil servants.

The disclosure was made on Wednesday, January 2, at the annual prayer meeting with civil servants at the governor's office in Akure, the Ondo state capital, The Guardian reports.

Legit.ng recalls that on his assumption of office, Akeredolu had promised the state’s workforce that he would not owe salaries, but improve on the welfare of the workers.

He said: “When I came into office, I made a promise that we will not owe workers’ salary, and we have not owed. Yes, salary is a right. Though you had been denied, we will not deny you the right of your salary.

“We have a responsibility to the people of the state and the civil servants; we will try and balance it. We are determined to see what we can do. But there is no way we can be successful without the bureaucracy.

“I must say; we have enjoyed the cooperation of the civil servants. If you have complaints, please tender it. Complaint is part of the burden of leadership, and I am ready to accept it because Moses suffered the same fate. At the end of the day, we will all smile.

According to the governor, reorientation of the civil servants and re-engineering of the service are tasks that must be achieved

Akeredolu said: “Let us re-dedicate ourselves to the service of the state. There are lots that can still be done. We will re-engineer our civil service, but not by retrenching people. Reorientation of the civil servants and re-engineering of the service are tasks that must be achieved.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state lamented that 90% of the state’s monthly allocation was expended on workers’ salaries leaving little room for other things to be done.

The governor spoke on Wednesday, May 2, 2017, at Owode-Obaile in Akure North local government area of the state during the inauguration of NULGE Ultra-modern Resort constructed by the Ondo State leadership of Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE).

He spoke about the protest carried out by workers on May 1, 2017, saying they had the right to do so.

Akeredolu, however, noted that infrastructure would suffer if the only thing they do with their allocation was to pay salaries.

He said: “We earn about N5b every month, N4b goes for salaries, allowances, how do we address the problems of shortage of teachers in primary schools, how do we build classrooms, how do we provide transformers for communities without light, majority want their roads constructed. The current state of affairs is depressing.

“It is a tragic irony that some people now refer to our state as a civil service enclave where governance has been reduced, virtually, to payment of salaries, allowances, grants and subventions."
