The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has urged the Accountant-General of the State to remit the immediate payments of salaries of all state civil servants and suspended appointees of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The approval for the payment of March 2025 salaries also covers all public servants and payments of pensioners in the state.

This is contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday by the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika.

The statement stressed that the payments should be made without any further delay.

The two-paragraph statement sent to newsmen was titled ‘Approval for the payment of salaries for the month of March 2025. ’

It reads, “In keeping with the undertaking made to the good people of Rivers State, I am pleased to inform you that the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (rted)has approved the payment of salaries for all civil servants in the Rivers State Civil Service and all public servants of the Rivers State Government, including Pensioners, and all suspended political appointees, for the month of March, 2025.

“The Administrator has further directed the Accountant-General to ensure that payment for salaries in March 2025 is remitted without any delay.”

This order comes 24 hours after the State chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress threatened to take to the streets if the salaries of local government workers since February 2025 are not paid by the end of the month.

Recall that the State NLC Chairman, Alex Agwanwor, at a news briefing in Port Harcourt on Thursday after the chapter’s executive council meeting, also called for the implementation of the minimum wage for the LG government, saying workers in the state are not partisan and should suffer due to the political crisis in the state.
