RSSDA Assures Staff Of Salary Payment

Executive Director, Rivers
State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA), Larry Pepple, has said that the state government is not relenting in making sure that workers owed salaries at the agency were paid.
In a statement made available to The Tide recently in Port Harcourt, the RSSDA boss was quoted as saying that the state government has approved the payment of salaries, of staff of the agency.
“As we speak, we have received some approvals to pay the staff salaries” he said.
Apart from the complains by staff of the agency in respect of the salary payment, Pepple however commended the understanding exhibited by staff of the agency.
He also lauded the maturity with which the agency’s union had been handling the matter, despite the delay in the payment of the salaries.
“I must use this opportunity to commend the doggedness, particularly the leadership of the labour union within the establishment for their leadership support, understanding and sense of maturity”, he said.
He added that since he assumed office at the agency, the union has not been confrontational, stressing that the government is doing its possible best to see that those approvals are implemented to enable the agency pay staff salaries.
