Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has revealed his administration’s plan to pay workers both the December salary and the 13th-month bonus before December 20, 2024.
Speaking during a crucial meeting with leaders of workers’ unions in the state, including the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Governor Alex Otti reaffirmed his commitment to paying the 13th-month salary, just as he did last year.
“I am getting ready, before 20th, we will pay December salaries so that you can be able to shop for Christmas,” Governor Otti told the workers.
In response, the NLC chairman, Ogbonnaya Okoro, praised Governor Otti for prioritizing workers’ welfare and promptly addressing salary structure concerns.
“I want to give you kudos sir, you must succeed, and we are rightly behind you. We will go extra mile to support your administration,” Okoro stated.
“So, for other issues, after now we will articulate them. We will appreciate you for the ones you have done and will appeal that you attend to the other ones,” Okoro said.
At the meeting, Governor Otti criticized the state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for establishing a shadow government, labeling it a treasonous act.
He pledged to take stringent legal measures against the opposition party within the bounds of the law.
