Obaseki disclosed this while interacting with civil and public servants between levels eight and 17 at the Sir Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub, Benin City, the Edo State capital on Monday.
The governor, who commended Edo workers for their support for his administration over the last six years, promised the development of the Benin Port and other projects aimed at placing the State on the path of sustainable economic growth and development.
He said, “You have asked for a 13th-month salary to be paid to you in December. We will do it but between now and December, how will you pay the state government back?
“I am here today to say thank you for your support. When I look back, I know I have people. You have supported me for the past six and a half years.
