Salary Arrears: Bayelsa State Govt assures workers of full payment 





The Bayelsa State Government has dismissed rumours making the rounds that the salary arrears of workers will be paid by reducing two steps based on the report of the Committee on Commencement and Progression.

The Head of the Civil Service, Rev. Thomas Zidafamo said there is no truth in it as those spreading the falsehood are only interested in using that to discredit the government.
In a statement on Monday, Rev. Zidafamo called on workers to discountenance the rumour as the government had never at anytime contemplated taken such decision.

He explained that the State Government is taking steps to ensure the payment of the arrears without the so-called purported deductions and very soon it will meet that obligation.

While maintaining that the rumour is intended to establish a frosty relationship between the government, workers in the state and the organized Labour, the Head of Service urged them to disregard the false information.

The Governor’s media Aide said that it was queer and absurd that Sylva did not point to any p...

Bayelsa 2019: Men Who Want Governor Dickson's Job

Following the recent declaration by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of November 2, 2019 as date for the Bayelsa Governorship Election, the race for the next landlord of the ‘Creek Haven” Bayelsa State Government House, Yenagoa, is on the upward swing and fast gathering momentum. Bayelsa State as a microcosm of Nigeria is very significant as it is majorly made up of the Ijaw ethnic nationality, with the main language spoken being Ijaw aside dialects such as Izon, Kolukuma, Mein, Bomu, Nembe, Epie-Atisa, and Ogbia. Like all the other 35 states, it is divided into three senatorial zones, the Bayelsa Central, Bayelsa East and Bayelsa West.
