Remember the pictures of the Ekiti state civil servants begging on their knees that went viral? Some people even said it was the governor that asked them to kneel down as a means of punishment.
Well, the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, has pardoned the 31 civil servants who resumed late to work that day. According to Punch, the governor announced this at a meeting he held with public servants in Ado Ekiti
“I am begging workers to get to work on time. If we are paying salaries on time, then civil servants must also reciprocate by coming to work on time. Also, people must be ready to pay rates, taxes and levies. If civil servants are paying taxes, others should pay as well. Our IGR must improve,” the governor said at the meeting.
