Sheriff Oborevwori, describing the unprecedented gesture as a well-deserved reward for diligence, loyalty and dedicated service that will undoubtedly inspire greater productivity, commitment and excellence within the state public service.

General Oloye stated that the governor's decision has once again demonstrated that his administration remains genuinely committed to improving the welfare of workers while recognizing their invaluable contributions to governance and the sustainable development of Delta State.

Speaking in a statement made available to newsmen, the Governor's security aide said the approval of the additional salary package reflects Governor Oborevwori's compassionate leadership style and his unwavering belief that a motivated workforce is indispensable to efficient public service delivery.

According to him, rewarding hardworking civil servants is one of the most effective ways of encouraging higher performance, boosting morale and strengthening confidence in government.

He noted that the 13th-month salary is more than a financial incentive, describing it as a symbolic expression of appreciation to over 60,000 civil servants whose daily sacrifices ensure the smooth functioning of government institutions across the state.

General Oloye observed that Governor Oborevwori has consistently distinguished himself as a leader who values the welfare of workers, adding that his administration has continued to implement practical policies aimed at improving the living standards of civil servants, pensioners, youths, women and vulnerable citizens.

He stressed that the governor understands that economic empowerment and workers' welfare are critical ingredients for peace, social stability and effective governance, emphasizing that satisfied workers naturally become more committed to delivering quality services to the people.

"Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has once again shown why he is widely regarded as a compassionate and people-oriented leader. The approval of a 13th-month salary is a fitting reward for the hard work, commitment and sacrifices of our dedicated civil servants.

"This remarkable gesture will not only provide financial relief to thousands of workers and their families, but will also motivate them to rededicate themselves to their responsibilities with renewed enthusiasm, professionalism and patriotism.

"A government that values its workforce is building a stronger future for its people. When workers are appreciated, productivity increases, industrial harmony is strengthened and the dividends of good governance become more visible to the citizens.

"His Excellency has demonstrated once again that under the MORE Agenda, governance is centred on people, compassion and sustainable development. This decision will remain one of the defining milestones of his administration's commitment to workers' welfare," General Oloye declared.

The Special Assistant further remarked that Governor Oborevwori's administration has continued to set impressive standards in responsive governance through timely attention to workers' welfare, infrastructural development, human capital investment and enhanced security initiatives.

He noted that the governor's consistent prioritization of civil servants has created renewed confidence within the public service while fostering a stronger partnership between government and its workforce.

General Oloye also commended the governor for his broader vision of improving the quality of life of Deltans through affordable housing initiatives, youth empowerment programmes, economic development projects and strategic investments in peace and security.

He expressed confidence that the latest welfare package would further strengthen industrial harmony, improve service delivery and accelerate socio-economic development across the three senatorial districts of Delta State.

While congratulating civil servants on the historic approval, General Oloye urged them to reciprocate the governor's goodwill by remaining disciplined, diligent, innovative and committed to excellence in the discharge of their duties.

He further called on all Deltans to continue supporting Governor Oborevwori's administration, expressing optimism that the governor's people-centred policies would continue to promote peace, prosperity and inclusive development, thereby consolidating Delta State's position as one of Nigeria's leading models of good governance and responsible leadership.
