No Civil Servant Is Intimidated In Ondo, Says Head Of Service

Ondo State civil servants on Monday expressed their appreciation to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, for always promoting their interests.

They hailed the governor for refusing to politicise the civil service.
According to them, Governor Akeredolu deserves commendation for doing a lot to alleviate the pains of his administration inherited from the immediate past administration.
The state Head of Service, Mr. Toyin Akinkuotu, spoke the mind of the workers at an expanded meeting the civil servants held with the governor in Akure.

He said: "It is on record that no worker is harassed or intimidated by Akeredolu's administration. The person who alleviated our pains by constantly paying our salaries deserve our commendation.
"He has substantially paid our salary arrears. Promotion of civil servants and other benefits are not left out. We are bold to say that Akeredolu is fulfilling all his pre-election promises to Ondo State civil servants."

The Head of Service, however, promised the workers' continued support for Akeredolu's administration come rain and shine.
In his remarks, Akeredolu said workers' welfare was not what a responsible government should politicise.

Stressing that a labourer deserves his wages, the governor said no condition would make his administration "return the state civil servants to Egypt where they would be owed backlog of salaries."
The civil servants, however, hailed the governor when he broke the long-awaited news to them.
He promised to pay their leave bonus and their remaining one month arrears.

Governor Akeredolu thanked the workers for their support and promised that deserving civil servants would earn their promotion.
It will be recalled that Governor Akeredolu has not owed the state civil servants since he assumed office.

It is only in Nigeria we see things like this .
