Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Tuesday, said the State Government was waiting for the enabling chart to implement the new minimum wage to avoid making mistakes.
The Governor stated this at the state House of Assembly during the retirement thanksgiving in honour of Mrs Lyna Ocholo, the immediate past Clerk of the state Assembly, who is now, the Principal Secretary to the Governor
“We are waiting for the chart of the new minimum wage because we don’t want to make any mistake”, the Governor said.
Gov Oborevwori congratulated Mrs Ocholor on her successful retirement from civil service and thanked staff of the Assembly for their support since his days as Speaker of the sixth and seventh Assemblies.
Noting that staff of the Assembly never went on strike throughout his time as Speaker, the Governor said: “I am very happy to be in your midst today. It is also an opportunity to appreciate the staff of this Assembly.
“I could remember on the 11th of May, 2017 when I took over as Mr. Speaker. It was tough but the good thing is that none of the staff, even PASAN, went on strike for the six years I was Speaker.
“What I want to say is that anywhere you are working, be good. Anything you are doing, be good. As a Civil or Public Servant, you must do what you will be remembered for.
“If you check this state, Mrs Ocholor is one of the outstanding Clerks and I want to thank all of you for supporting her to do well.
“I want to urge you to continue to give Mr. Speaker and other principal officers of this Assembly, the same support that you people gave to us in the 6th and 7th Assemblies.
“The House of Assembly is a learning curve. You cannot pass through this place and remain the same. My prayer is that all of us will end well in Jesus’ name.
“I want to specially appreciate Mr. Speaker and other officers of the House of Assembly for the peaceful synergy with the executive”
