This comes barely a week after Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State also approved the payment of a ’13th-month’ salary for workers in the state civil service.

Eno directed the accountant general to ensure the payment is made on or before 20 December so that workers can celebrate Christmas “with ease.”

“To make the Christmas celebration grand, the governor ordered the Accountant General to pay the 13th month salary, popularly known as Eno-mber, before 20 December, adding that Christmas rice will be sent to each of the villages across the State, and the number sent would be supported during the Christmas homegoing exercise,” he said.
