The Cross River State Government has paid five months’ salary arrears owed to workers of the Obudu Ranch Resort, weeks after employees staged a peaceful protest over the non-payment of their wages.
The payment was confirmed in a statement issued on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Obudu Ranch Resort, Sunday Michael.
According to the statement, workers began receiving payment alerts on Wednesday after Governor Bassey Otu approved the immediate release of the funds.
“The payment, which also includes outstanding allowances, was made on the express directive of the Governor of Cross River State, Sen. Bassey Otu, for the immediate clearance of all salary arrears owed to workers of the resort,” he said.
