OBOREVWORI APPROVES 13TH MONTH SALARY FOR DELTA STATE WORKERS

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has approved the payment of a 13th month salary for workers in the state civil service, as part of efforts to boost morale and reward performance.

The approval was announced as part of the state government’s commitment to improving the welfare of public servants and enhancing productivity across ministries, departments, and agencies.

According to government sources, the gesture is expected to provide financial relief to workers, especially amid rising living costs and economic pressures affecting households across the country.

The 13th month salary, often referred to as an end-of-year bonus, is designed to serve as an additional incentive for workers who have contributed to the running of government services throughout the year.

State officials noted that the policy reflects the administration’s focus on prioritising workers’ welfare and maintaining a motivated civil service.

Labour stakeholders have in the past welcomed similar initiatives, describing them as effective tools for improving job satisfaction and strengthening service delivery.

Observers say the move could also have a positive impact on the state’s local economy, as increased disposable income during the festive period often boosts spending and small business activity.

The Delta State Government reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining policies that support workers’ welfare while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
