Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade stunned workers on the 1st of May, Workers Day, when he announced the payment of salaries for the month of May on the first day of the month.A mild drama immediately ensued when the workers who were at the U.J. Esuene Stadium for the May Day celebration began to receive salary payment alert from their various banks.

Unable to contain their excitement, the workers shouted “alert, alert”.

The workers praised the governor. Before now, the governor had paid salaries between the 13th and 20th day of each month.Governor Ayade told the workers, who named him the “Best Labour Friendly Governor in Nigeria”, that his administration had a duty to give workers a sense of dignity.

“We must create opportunities for labour to feel a sense of dignity. If you are truly a Christian, you must know that as you care for your kids, you must care for labour,” he stated.

Another good news is that workers in the Edo State civil and public got cheering news during the May Day celebration as their salaries were increased.

Workers’ salaries were increased by 45 percent. The minimum wage is now N25,000.

The workers, especially members of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees who were in pensive mood at the beginning of the rally, danced and sang praises of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

Modified: FTC on point. I dedicate this to my wonderful family and to all legit hustlers in the house. Its Our Year of From Glory to Glory. We must make it in Jesus name.

Nigerian politicians are clowns each trying to outdo the other in stup.idity!

Dem no go come work be dat o

I on get alert nah God win

This is no good news to any reasonable fella.. We gat april payment just last wk.

Stunting like their ancestor-buhari

I commend him for at least paying the salaries and increasing the minimum wage.... But why pay someone on the first day of the month

Na trap oo

That is good if it is not a political taunt. Many of them act well during first tenure and become invisible and desperate when they get the second. Whatever, it is a good gesture.

Well, it's a good feat.

First of its kind.




#JointheIvyyLeague... Vote Ivyy for Miss Nairaland.

nice

Great news

But shouldn't we be way past this in Nigeria by now? I mean doesn't celebrating this as an achievement seem mediocre? The dude got paid for doing his job, not like they're dashing out the money

I guess being mediocre is the Nigerian way

nice one,but the workers should equally remember that the next pay will come in almost 2 MONTHS TIME.lol

just passing by

Why are the workers happy?

Their next pay will be in the next 50 days or thereabouts. They don't know what this will put them into, except they manage their money well

Stupi.dity...

While my own gov, Ikpeazu has nt paid me, a medical Dr & other workers in Abia since March. Hw do I discharge my duties well wit Hunger & dis fuel palava in d land?

Celebrate this to your own peril.

Alert! Alert! Nigerians are celebrating their right. They are celebrating what they worked for. They are celebrating what should be normal. What a weird country.

Alert

Not cool though. From now till ending of may when they will receive the next one no be here o.

Lolz. So what happens when the month ends ? This is a shortlived joy.
