Ambode To Increase Workers Salary Instead Of Sharing Christmas Rice And Chicken

Governor Ambode of Lagos State has said his government will not be given out christmas rice and other items attributed to the usual yuletide items usually distributed by the State Government.

According to a circular numbered 153 and signed by the Head of Service, Mrs. Olabowale Ademola, the Governor will instead increase workers basic salaries by 25percent.

Those in the know said the Governor decided to cancel the giving out of Christmas rice because not every worker usually gets it.

They said the Governor knows it has not been a transparent process in the past and so he will be cancelling the exercise this year and increase workers’ salaries instead, to ensure every worker gets a Christmas gift.
