The Rivers State Organized Labour has applauded Governor Siminalayi Fubara, for approving the sum of one hundred thousand naira (N100,000.00) as Christmas bonus for civil servants on the State payroll.
The statement sighted by Africa Update called on all civil servants to strongly support the Fubara led administration, noting that Governor Fubara has broken the record set by the administration of His Excellency Dr Peter Odili, GSSRS that gave the sum of twenty thousand naira (20,000.00) as Christmas bonus to Civil Servants during his tenure.
The statement reads in part: “It is important to mention that no other administration gave Christmas bonus to Rivers State Civil Servants after HE Dr Peter Odili until now.
“We call on workers in Rivers State to continue to pray for peace in the state during this time of political crisis and wish to state that with this kind gesture, our Governor has further proven himself as the Worker’s Governor, hence, we warn all political detractors to desist from distracting HE as any further attack on HE will be treated as attack on Rivers Workers.
“We reiterate the unalloyed support of workers to the Governor Siminalayi Fubara led administration.
“Finally, we urge the good people of Rivers State to be security conscious during this yuletide as we pray for God’s favour and prosperity upon Rivers State.
Signed:
