Fayose Promotes 15,772 Workers,Pays 2months Salaries, Christmas Bonus Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti has given approval for the immediate promotion of 15,772 public servants in the spirit of Christmas.

A statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Sunday and signed by
the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Idowu
Adelusi, said the promotion cuts across workers in the local
governments, teaching service and the core civil servants.
The statement said that the beneficiaries consisted mainly
of those whose promotions were due since 2012, 2013 and
2014. It said the governor had consequently ordered that
letters of promotion be given the affected workers without
further delay.
The statement, however, clarified that the promotion status
still remained nominal, as the cash backing for the exercise
would be effective only from March 2017. It announced that
all categories of workers in the state had been paid two
months salaries in December, while Christmas bonus would
be paid immediately after the Christmas holiday.
The statement quoted the governor as saying that, though,
the state was currently grappling with economic challenges,
it did not mean that deserving workers should not be
recognised for hard work. “We won’t deny our workers their
dues and entitlements, economic recession or no economic
recession, as leaders of the state, we must be fair to all and
that is what we are doing “Our administration is resolute in
giving the best to all Ekiti people, including those in the
public service.
“This month alone, we have paid two salaries, we are also
paying Christmas bonus after the holiday “We deliberately
spaced the payment of the bonus so that after the
Christmas holiday, workers will still have something to fall
back on,” it said.from vanguard
