Gov Willie Obiano says his administration was committed to improving the welfare of workers as a way of motivating them for increased productivity.
The governor disclosed this when he visited the headquarters of the state's Local Government Service commission(LGSC).
He said the workers are critical to the growth and development of the state, and therefore called on them for the right attitude to work.
Gov Obiano noted that as part of its efforts to encourage the workers to be at their best in their various areas, his administration has continued to support workers through training and re-training for optimal result, prompt payment of salaries and other benefits as well as provision of seasonal largesse to them.
So he urged the workers to reciprocate government's gesture by putting in their best in what they do, assuring them that he will review their salaries upwards if the state's Internally Generated Revenue(IGR)improves.
The chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, Dr Peter Egenti revealed that the Commission has set a strategic plan anchored on two pillars of discipline and productivity as well as a robust transformation and regulatory framework for re-orientation, reorganisation, monitoring and sanctions to guide the workers in the path of productivity.
The Head of Local Government Administration, China Ikelie harped on the need for more recruitment into the local government administrative system which was last done 15 years ago, thanked Gov Obiano for his positive disposition towards the state workforce.
