Ahead of the Eid-el Kabir celebrations, Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has ordered immediate payment of August salary to workers in the state.
Obaseki gave the order Friday during the second anniversary thanksgiving of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Christian Prayer/Contact Committee, in Benin.
He said the payment would enable the people to celebrate sallah well.
The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, said: “We cannot be sharing the money for the development of the state and still be able to meet up with our electoral promises to the people.
Our focus is on the people, to develop the state and make life better for everyone.”
The governor also stated that his administration was commitment to quality education.
