Kayode Fayemi, the Ekiti State Governor, on Friday, July 12, has paid the outstanding salaries and allowances of members of the State Civil Service Commission and House of Assembly Service Commission who were appointed by the state’s former governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose.


Fox Meek reports that Mr. Fayemi while presenting cheques which covers their outstanding salaries and allowances thanked them for their service to the state.


It was learnt that the governor was represented by his chief of staff, Biodun Omoleye.


Mr. Tunji Odeyemi, the former chairman of the House of Assembly Service Commission, on behalf of the beneficiaries, said that the governor surprised them by keeping them in office when he was elected governor of the state.


Read Odeyemi's statement below;

“We are most delighted for an avenue like this. I must confess that this opportunity we are having today is very uncommon. When a new governor or government comes on board, what they usually do is to remove members of commissions and boards appointed by their predecessor not minding the laws establishing those commissions,


“But you have magnanimously retained us and now paying our outstanding salaries. As far as Ekiti is concerned, from 1999 to date, the opportunity we are having like this has not been very common. We are grateful to His Excellency for this.”

Civilised governor is different from illiterate that used to cut ponmo along the road.
