It was a disappointing weekend for workers in Ekiti State as the state government on Thursday withdrew two months’ salaries already paid into their bank accounts.

This was as teachers in the state declared a two-day warning strike over the refusal of Governor Ayodele Fayose to pay their September 2014 salary arrears and 2014 leave bonuses.

The state chairman of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, Samuel Akosile, told our correspondent that the union would consider the next step to take at the expiration of the warning strike beginning today (Monday).

Workers, mainly civil servants in the state had last week received alerts from their banks that their salaries for November and December 2015 had been paid into their accounts.

The workers were, however, in for a shock as the salaries were quietly withdrawn from their accounts without reasons from the banks.

Expressing his frustration to our correspondent, a civil servant who simply identified himself as Akindele, said, “I had gone to the bank on Friday to withdraw money from the Automated Teller Machine but was disappointed when there was no money in my account. On enquiry, I was told that the government had instructed banks to recall payment.”

But the government has blamed the error on the service providers.

Speaking with our correspondent on Sunday, the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Lanre Ogunsuyi, said the government had no intention to embarrass any worker, adding that the issue was being looked into.

“The error is from the service provider and it has been rectified,” he said.

But many workers had gone to the bank to withdraw the money before the government could start removing the money from their accounts.

Ogunsuyi, however, added that the government was looking into the case of those who might have withdrawn their money and “appropriate action would be taken after due consideration.”

However, the All Progressives Congress, has slammed Fayose for crediting workers’ accounts with their salaries only to withdraw the money after “a heavy media hype.”

The party in a statement on Sunday by the state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, accused the governor of fraudulent conduct to sustain his grip on the “thoroughly abused” people of Ekiti people.

He said, “This is not the first time the governor is doing this to workers. He did it to primary school teachers last year when he learnt that they were to embark on a strike. That is what he did last week after learning of the strike plan by teachers after they refused to help him in a solidarity rally to save him from Ekitigate probe.”

“The governor that said the state was broke suddenly paid two months’ salaries after learning that the teachers were bent on embarking on a protest over his failure to pay their salary arrears, even though he quickly reversed a month salary from their accounts after workers were celebrating payment of two months arrears.”

But debunking the allegations, the Chief Press Secretary to Fayose, Idowu Adelusi, in a statement said labour had not been kept in the dark in the running of the government.

He blamed former governor Kayode Fayemi for the inability to pay workers.

“Is it not the mess left behind by the Fayemi’s administration that is causing problem for Fayose’s government? Nine hundred and fifty million naira is deducted monthly by those who Fayemi administration took loan from. If N950m is added to N1.3bn that came last month, it will go a long way for Fayose administration to meet financial obligations,” Adelusi said.

When i called him a Yahoo Governor, the wailers cried.

When i asked why does a Governor go on a project inspection in the Night, the wailers called me names.

When i asked why should a Bus Driver be a Governor, i was told "GOD PUT OYEL FOR HIM HEAD"

Now he is the first Governor to stoop this low.

Putting money into the poor civil servant's account, making them dance Awilo and buying food stuff on Credit, only to discover the money in their accounts have done a "BOJU BOJU"

Governor Fayose Please Change.

It's not fishing,

It's fishy

Besides , If the deposit has been made it's possible it takes a few days to clear at the bank before alerts are rolled out , insider information or Fayose's big mouth may have been the source of the information ,

On the other hand, we are in 2016 , Why would he still owe money from 2014 ?

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

Its salary arrears, not basic salary, sometimes it takes forever to pay this, even the FG is guilty of this sometimes.

why should he skip a particular month salary and start paying from the following month. This is worse than owing months of unpaid salaries, this is nothing but pure scam. No intention to pay IMO.

Fayose did "April fool" to the people in February.

He blamed former governor Kayode Fayemi for the inability to pay workers.

“Is it not the mess left behind by the Fayemi’s administration that is causing problem for Fayose’s government?

Wailers what do you say to this? Fayemi left in 2014 and he's still being blamed and you don't want BUHARI that took over 8 months ago to blame Gej who was there for 6 years or pdp that ruled for 16 years? You are are all ineffectual-Bs!

A bank has no right to unilaterally debit a customer's account in this manner or to reverse an entry even if the entry was made in error. For those that already relied on their balance and withdrew money, nobody can rightly reclaim from them.

Honestly, I'm yet to be surprised when you'll stop displaying this foolish attitude of yours on this forum.

You go up and down, left, right and centre, posting silly pictures that say absolutely nothing but tell you know nothing.

That's how you asked me for proof of evidence when I said PdP accused PMB/APC of being behind the BBOG campaign, after I provided you with evidence, you still were too smart to even swallow your narrow mindedness.

Dude, there's a time for fun, and there's a time to play, with you, it seem the latter is what you'll so good at. Please learn to read properly and criticize constructively and stop showing everybody that you are someone who can't comprehend simple English.

Thank you!.

Its must have been an error because if fayose wants to pay double salary, all availabale local and foreign social media would have reported the news....

The medical doctors, in a bid to sell their drugs and insulin will continue to say tell you that diabetes cannot be reversed. However, www.naturehealthoptions.com/diabetes.html has opened up an opportunity for all to read how this same diabetes can be reversed naturally...The greater part of this news is that medical practitioners are silently following this method.
