Benue investment, property company announces payment of seven-month salaries owed staff
The Benue Investment and Property Company (BIPC) says it has cleared the seven months’ salary arrears and four months’ allowances owed its staff.
This was announced in a statement signed by BIPC’s managing director, Raymond Asemakaha, on Friday.
Governor Hyacinth Alia had, upon assumption of office on May 29, ordered the freezing of all state accounts, including that of the company, which resulted in the seven months’ salary arrears owed workers.
Mr Asemakaha said the company, aside from the payments of the seven months’ salary arrears and four months’ allowances, the workers also received the 13th-month salary.
He commended Mr Alia for approving funds for the company to clear the backlog and urged the staff to brace up and deliver on the company’s mandate.
The managing director specifically thanked the governor for believing in his leadership and the ability of the staff members to transform the company into a global investment destination with ease of doing business.
