In a rare show of respect for the teachers and understanding of their
flights, Governor Ayodele Fayose has apologised to primary school
teachers in Ekiti State over the mix-up in the payment of their
September, 2015 salary.
According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor,
Idowu Adelusi, the governor said “even though the mix-up was from the
State Accountant General’s office but as the State governor, he takes
responsibility.”
“I want to apologise for the inconsistency and problems encountered in
crediting the accounts of some primary school teachers, it was after
my broadcast few days back that I got a lot of text messages from
some teachers that were affected.
“I sincerely want to apologise, I have gotten to the root of the
matter, I have found out that there were mix-ups here and there, the
accounts were credited and later withdrawn for carelessness in the
accountant general’s office, for whatever it is I take responsibility,
I apologise and want to assure you all the lapses will be corrected.
“My teachers at the primary school level, this money will be credited
to your accounts between now and Wednesday unfailingly. My apologies,” he said.
