| Cross River State governor, Senator Ben Ayade |
It has become a tradition in the state
under the governorship of Senator Ben Ayade, for workers in the state to
receive their December salaries in November.
Civil servants in Cross River state have
received their December salary, barely four days after getting their November
pay.
This is even as the state is yet to
receive federal allocation for November.
It has become a tradition in the state
under the governorship of Senator Ben Ayade, for workers in the state to
receive their December salaries in November.
Although a section of the workforce has
on many occasions protested against early payment of salaries in the state,
Governor Ayade has stayed steadfast to early payment of salaries.
On the rationale for the payment of
December late November, the Governor explained that the idea is to get workers
to do their shopping early, to avoid inflation that always occasion shopping
close to Christmas.
“We pay workers in the state early to
usher in the Christmas festivities that begin in the state on December 1st.
Besides, it also saves our workers the stress and strain of shopping close to
Christmas given the tendency for prices of goods to skyrocket.

“So by paying early we ensure that our
workers do their Christmas shopping early, thus getting true value for their
money instead of buying goods at highly inflated prices if they shopped close
to Christmas.
Given that the payment of December salary
was done early, he assured that salary for the month of January will also be
paid early.
“Because we have paid December salary
early, we will also pay January salary early so as to assist our workers who
are parents meet up with the obligation of paying schools fees for their
children,” Ayade assured.
