Economic Meltdown: Ugwuanyi assures prompt payment of workers salaries

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has assured workers in the state that despite the present economic challenges in the country he would continue to pay their salaries to ensure service delivery among the work force.

Governor Ugwuanyi in a brief remark on the occasion of a prayer session to usher in the New Year, organized by labour in the state for civil servants at the state’s new secretariat complex observed that constant payment of civil servants’ salaries would also continue to activate the economy of the state.

“We will continue to pay salaries, it is only when we do that, we can activate the economy of the state,” he said.

The governor thanked the state organized labour and workers of Enugu State for initiating and sustaining the prayer session to usher in New Year in the state, adding that “without God we can do nothing.”

He also applauded the state workers for their solidarity to his administration since inception.

He urged the civil servants to be steadfast in their faith in God, as his administration would not relent in prayers to God to direct the state.

In his exhortation with the theme “with God everything is possible” the Methodist Bishop of Agbani Circuit, Rt. Rev. Udoh Emeremgini said that God does wonderful things in the life of people who truly worship and trust Him, adding that all good works have their rewards.

Rev. Udoh advised civil servants in the state to always stand on truth and be mindful of their deeds.

He advised the authorities to always carry their subordinates along in the administration of the service. According to him retired workers should be paid their pension promptly because workers deserve their wages.

The prayer was attended by members of the state executive council, permanent secretaries and a large number of civil servants in the state.
