Unlike many other states, workers in Edo state civil service receive their wages as at when due despite the prevailing dwindling allocation to states from the Federation Account.
Oshiomhole
Luckily for the state, the Internally Generated Revenue under the supervision of Chief Useni Elamah, has helped immensely in the payment of workers’ salary in Edo state.
Initially, the tax drive embarked upon by the Governor Adams Oshiomhole led administration was biting, but it has paid off today with the constant salaries and visible infrastructural development embarked upon by the state government. However, all has not been too well with workers at the Local Government level as some of them have been owed salaries for close to five months. But their situation has nothing to do with the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who has sacrificed his security votes, drastically cut down government expenses so as to ensure that Edo workers get paid every month.
The governor had vowed that as a labour leader, he would ensure that workers under the state civil service get their pay as at when due. It was learnt that the councils since last year October, have not been getting their full allocation from the Federation account. After the payment of teachers in the 18 Local Government Areas, Saturday Vanguard learnt that the funds are no longer enough to pay other staff under the employ of the Local Governments. It was learnt that the state government has on several occasions made attempts to bail out the councils in Edo state but the situation became difficult following the dwindling allocation accrued to the state from the federation account.
