Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has promised that his administration will provide a better welfare package for civil servants in the state that will make them happy.

Gov. Okpebholo said this on Friday, when he received the executives of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Edo State chapter, led by its acting state Chairman, Comrade Bernard Egwekhide

Egwekhide said the labour leaders were in the Government House, Benin, to congratulate the governor on his recent victory at the governorship election tribunal that affirmed his victory in the September 21, 2024 governorship election.

The governor said whatever Edo State workers are enjoying in the state is the responsibility of his administration to do because the administration is worker friendly.

“Whatever we are doing, which is favouring Edo workers, is done because it is our responsibility as a government.

“Edo people voted for us to work for them, and that is what we are doing to ensure life is made better for our people, including the workers.

“We embrace transparency in all what we do as a government, to enable the people to trust us as we are not afraid of criticism. Positive criticism will put us on our toes to work harder for Edo people.

“The Renewed Hope Agenda of the president has given us room and the platform to perform and serve Edo people better as we embark on practical governance.

“We are doing everything in the state to ensure peace, unity, growth, and development. That is why we ensure a smooth collaboration amongst the three tiers of government. In all we do in the state, we ensure the three senatorial zones are carried along,” Gov. Okpebholo said.

The NLC acting state Chairman, Egwekhide, commended the governor for his developmental strides and the friendly environment created for Edo State workers to operate.

He said the visit was necessary as the body had come to congratulate the governor for his deserved victory at the election petition tribunal in Abuja.

“Workers in Edo State are proud of you for the developmental strides in the state. You have created a friendly relationship between your administration and Edo workers, as you have always taken steps to favour Edo State workers.

“Without asking, workers received their 13th month. You raised the subvention of Ambrose Ali University (AAU) from N41 million to N500 million. You regularized casual workers in Edo State.

“You increased what is due pensioners monthly from N50 million to N1 billion for both local and state pensioners,” the labour leader said.

He noted that a committee has been set up to look into the compulsory pension scheme, which has become a burden on retired civil servants, adding that the report will be submitted to him for his action.
