Ayade Shocks Workers, Pays May Salary May 1st
Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade today stunned the organized labour in the state when he announced the payment of salaries for the month of May on the first day of the month.
A mild drama immediately ensued when the workers who were at the U.J. Esuene Stadium for the May Day celebration each began to receive salary payment alert from their various banks.
Unable to contain the excitement, shouts of ‘alert alert alert rent the stadium as the workers went into a frenzy, singing the praises of the governor.
Before now, the governor had paid salaries between the 13th and 20th day of each month.
Ayade told the workers, who named him the Best Labour Friendly Governor in Nigeria, that his administration had a duty to give workers in the state a sense of dignity.
“We must create opportunities for labour to feel a sense of dignity. If you are truly a Christian, you must know that as you care for your kids, you must care for labour,” he stated.
He said this is because “no infrastructure is more important than labour, that is why in all my programs, I focus on people.”
Urging Labour to keep faith with his administration while working in harmony to foster the growth of the state, the governor declared that no worker who has dully put in his honest labour will go unrewarded.
He reasoned that “anybody who pulls down labour does not understand the philosophy of existentialism, hence the need for labour to come before infrastructure and skyscrapers.”
Other packages the governor announced were the donation of a new Toyota coaster bus for labour, release of funds for the building of Labour house as well as the appointment of labour representative into the state executive council.
Earlier, the organised labour, through chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade John Ushie, had lent its support to the construction of the 260km superhighway as well as other projects aimed at repositioning the economy of the state.
Ushie also urged government to intervene in a number of areas, including the state newspaper corporation, which he said is in a dilapidated state.

Is this man not receiving his allocation from the federal govt who normally sat federation act on 15th of everymonth or does it means the state is capable of generating revenue to pay it workers?
This is unbelievable. Thanks to Prof. Ben Ayade
I like the word the Governor used, “if you are a true Christian” but some people use the word discriminately, to confuse people and better themselves silently and criminally.
This is quite encouraging. Please, our dear digital Governor, continue this good work to the very end; let it end well! We appreciate this stride of yours!
Our digital governor na u try pass
It was a rude shock it has never happened
We believe in your administration. May
God give u second term.
God bless u sir, thank God u understand wat Christianity is all about knowing fully well dat human being should be d first priority 2 every good governance unlike ppl who claim they are developing d state whereas the masses, labour are dieing of hunger. Because they know if they should pay workers well there will be no emblesement of fund from it due to, u cannot use 100 naria to pay salary n claim is 1m naria dat u used 4 it whereas u can claim dat, doing one project or d other thereby enriching their pocket n they will come n tell us they working. Shame unto such ppl.
Your excelency ,
I am short of words to expressed how thankful I am right now .
When a Man who fears God rules there is a sence of doing what is right b4 God and man . Understanding and wisdom will be granted you by God and the prayers of those you paid their wages will protect you through Christ Jesus…. Amen. God bless you my Governor for reaching out to your people ..
Sincerely thankful .
Gee.
Our miracle Ayade…..God bless you sir
Most pple will go hungry by the end of the month and suffer thru June,maybe he should break it down and pay salaries weekly
@Emmanuel Adie……its not the gov responsibility if anyone is financially indiscipline, and paying weekly salaries is definitely something that will have to Fo through workers union
Ayade has finally broken the record as the only African leader whose payment of wages approach is equal to none… When a man has done well, we should simply call a spade, a spade. This has never ever been done in the history of Nigeria. The critics are definitely short of words
What better gift can you give workers on workers day than their salaries…..thank you Gov Ayade….Baba God bless you wella
First in history, Ayade is not only Digital but has a heart of gold.. I wouldn’t wish for anyone else as my governor
Well done to him,but I don’t particularly like it,25th was good enough for me. I guess I will just have to discipline myself
It’s a good gesture the only problem is that those civil servants will finish that money before the end of may and will go through momentary hardship
Nice
The alert sweet me well well o!…..thank you sir
Our governor has spoilt this civil servants in Cross River State.. They should go and ask their counterparts in Imo state
am satisfied with the wonderful performances of governor ben.Ayade.especially in areas of development and early payment of salaries to workers.
