Breaking… Edo workers to get 13th month salary from new Governor

By Vincent Ikechukwu, Abuja.

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has approved the payment of “13th month” salary to workers in the state civil service.

The governor has also approved the policy of automatic employment for first class graduates of Edo extraction from any university in Nigeria and abroad into the state civil service to boost the quality of manpower in the system.

Edo Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa, disclosed this on Friday, noting that the Graduate Development Programme was to ensure that quality manpower was brought into the system for effective and efficient service delivery that would enhance growth and development.

The new APC government of Sen. Okpebholo is less than a month old and Edo people are already heaving a sigh of relief from the age long maladministration.
