May 1: Ayade Commended for Exemplary Workers’ Welfare Improvement
A Civil Society Group, Coalition of Civil Society
and Media Executives for Policy Stability (COCMEP), has commended the Governor of
Cross River State, Prof. Ben Ayade for setting the pace in workers welfare
improvement in the country.
A statement issued and signed by the President of
COCMEP, Innocent Okadigbo, which was made available to media today, described
the payment of the state workers’ May 2016 salary on May 1 as a “pleasant and
motivating surprise” which is a great advancement from the payment of his
workers’ salary between the 13th and
20th of every month.
COCMEP therefore urged the ‘worker-friendly’ governor
to sustain the culture of timely and prompt payment of workers’ salary as this
will multiply commitment, dedication, performance, discipline and productivity
of the workers.
Okadigbo described the award bestowed by Nigerian
Labour Congress (NLC) on the governor as ‘the most labour-friendly governor in
the country’ as most befitting and truthful “because no governor has surpassed
Ayade in prompt and timely payment of workers’ salary in Nigeria” further
describing him as “a motivator, trail blazer, role model, galvanizer and
successful manager in human resource development.”
The group leader urged erring governors and employers
of labour in Nigeria to emulate the Ayade’s model in workers’ welfare matters,
urging the Cross River State workers to reciprocate the kind gesture of the governor
by observing public service and work ethics in their respective places of
work.
