Hurray!!! Cross River civil servants get May salary

Gov. Ben Ayade

It is indeed a day of celebration for civil servants in Cross River State has the state government pays them for the month of May to mark the workers day celebration.
Governor Ben Ayade, had on April 30 ordered that the May salaries of workers be paid.

The Governor did a similar feat in May 2016 when he ordered workers to be paid on Workers’ Day, while the second was on December 1, 2016.

Workers in the state got two months salaries in one week, as salaries for April were paid a few days ago.

State chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. John Ushie, said the union had advised against the payment of salaries in advance.

Ushie said, “We had advised the governor not to be paying salaries like this but he insisted. Maybe it is his own way of showing that he cares for the people. He feels he should make the life of the people better and he has expressed this by paying a month salary in advance.”
