A Civil Society Group, Coalition of Civil Society and Media Executives for Policy Stability (COCMEP) at the weekend commended Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade for setting the pace in workers’ welfare improvement.

A statement by Comrade Innocent Ebirim Okadigbo President, COCMEP described the payment of Cross River State workers’ May, 2016 salary on the first day  of the month as a “pleasant and motivating surprise.”

COCMEP urged the workers’- friendly governor to sustain the culture of timely and prompt payment of workers’ salary as this will multiply commitment, dedication, performance, discipline and productivity.

Okadigbo described the award bestowed by NLC on Governor Ayade as “the most labour friendly Governor in the country” to be most befitting and truthful because no governor has surpassed Ayade in prompt and timely payment of workers salary. He described Ayade as a motivator, trail blazer, role model, galvanizer and successful manager in human resource development.

He urged other governors and employers of labour to emulate the Ayade’s model in workers welfare and the Cross River State workers to reciprocate the kind gesture by observing public service and work ethics in their respective places of work.
