by Kingseyi Sun Jul 22, 2018 5:07 pmThe Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki,
has urged the state government workers to
embrace the federal government housing
scheme to enable them become homeowners
after retirement.
Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obasek
Obaseki gave the advice on Friday in
Benin during a sensitisation programme
on the federal housing mortgage scheme
for public sector workers in the state,
organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC) and the Trade Union Congress
(TUC) in conjunction with the Federal
Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), in
Benin City.
He noted that the implementation would cut
across all the 18 local government areas of the
state with special considerations for teachers as
an incentive to boost their productivity.
The governor said: “Under my watch all the
workers that register for this housing mortgage
scheme will benefit from it. I am aware that
there was the fear of fraud in the past, let me
assure you that such fear has been eliminated.
“I urged you all to take your sensitisation
programme here very seriously as it will help
you understand what the scheme is all about.”
Earlier, the Deputy General Manager, Federal
Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Mr Victor
Okosu, said that the sensitisation programme
was designed to enlighten the workers on the
need to key into the mortgage scheme as 30
states of the country have signed up for the
product.
The Edo State chairman, Nigeria Labour
Congress, Mr Emma Ademoku, noted that the
workers are deeply involved in the sensitisation
programme.
Ademoku applauded the state government for
providing land for the housing scheme, and said
the three senatorial districts would benefit from
the scheme.
He commended the governor for paying the
salaries of workers in the state even when other
state governors are waiting for federal
allocations.
