MOVING ON, The Delta State House of Assembly has passed a bill seeking to give legal backing to the annual payment of a 13th-month salary to public servants in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Executive Bill was passed on Tuesday after it scaled its third reading during plenary presided over by the Speaker, Emomotimi Guwor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed law is aimed at making the additional annual salary a statutory entitlement for eligible public servants, rather than leaving its payment solely to administrative policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before considering the bill, the House suspended its relevant standing orders to allow for its immediate passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion, moved by the House Leader, Emeka Nwaobi, was adopted by the lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the report of the House Committee on Establishment, Ethics and Privileges, its chairman, Edafe Emakpor, said the bill was designed to create a legal framework for the payment of the additional salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the proposed legislation would provide workers with greater certainty while improving their morale, productivity and general welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passage of the bill followed the state government\u2019s policy of paying public servants an additional salary at the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
