Delta State Governor to Pay N5bn Promotion Arrears to Worker in the State

Governor of Delta state, Sheriff Oborevwori has said in fulfillment of his campaign promises, he has approved the payment of promotion arrears worth five billion naira to workers in the state.

The Governor however said the promotion arrears will be paid in three tranches from August to end in October 2023.

Oborevwori spoke while addressing workers during his visit to the Prof. Chike Edozien Secretariat in Asaba, the state capital.

He therefore urged workers in the state to remain committed to their duties.

“As a promise keeper, I came here for two reasons; to see how you are doing in your work places and to bring the good news that the promotion arrears you have been demanding for all these years, have been approved.

“I have come here to notify you that I have approved it, because I am governor for all of you and for all the people of Delta, as I promised you with my M.O.R.E Agenda.

“We know the money is huge; its almost five billion naira, but I promised to pay you and I have signed the memo and approved it,” he said.

Oborevwori added, “you will be paid in three tranches from next month, August to October 2023. Continue to do more and work for the interest of this state.

“I thank you very much for your support and please don’t play with your work.

“I can come here anytime without informing the Head of Service.

“Today, I decided to inform him but the next time I am coming, I won’t notify you and I will just go into one of these offices to see what they are doing.”

Earlier, the State Head of Service, Mr Reginald Bayoko, who conducted the governor round the secretariat, expressed appreciation to the governor for approving the payment of the promotion arrears and for visiting the workers.

Bayoko pledged the unalloyed commitment of the state’s workforce to the actualisation of the governor’s M.O.R.E Agenda.

The workers, who were excited by the governor’s visit, lauded Oborevwori for being the first governor to visit workers in their secretariat.

Oborevwori was accompanied by his Deputy, Monday Onyeme and other top government functionaries.

Justice Nicholas Oweibo granted bail to the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, in the sum of N20m with one surety in like sum, after listening to the submissions of Emefiele’s counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN).

The judge rejected the Federal Government’s claim that Emefiele was a flight risk. He ruled that the government failed to provide any fact to support its claim.

Emefiele, 61, had also pleaded “not guilty” to the two-count charge of illegal possession of firearm and ammunition filed against him by the Federal Government.

In his submissions, Daudu had urged the court to grant bail on self recognizance or on other liberal terms, pending the hearing and determination of the trial.
