DICKSON COMMENCES PAYMENT OF SALARIES

Gov. Dickson
 The governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Seriake Dickson has began the payment of salaries after a controversial none payment of workers for over five months in the state civil service.
Hon. Dickson had a running battle with some individuals and groups that called on him to give priority attention to the salaries and pages of workers in the state.
Resides civil servants, the Dickson administration also failed to pay the pensioners of their monthly pensions, which had lasted over eleven months unpaid, according to sources who spoke to Golden Pen craving anonymity.
The stories of Bayelsa State within the period under review was an episode of contorted faces, by not only the civil servants, the staff of LGAS, but to all the sectors of the economy. So much had happened in the families, but no need to say more 5han to say the governor had changed his mind and had begun the payment of workers with half salaries, but what is not clear is when will the government clear the backlog of arrears.
