By Yahaya Idris, Asaba

The proposed 13th-month salary for Delta State civil servants and the state’s ongoing empowerment initiatives are expected to strengthen purchasing power and stimulate economic activities, Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, has said.

Aniagwu made the statement on Friday during a press briefing in Asaba while explaining the economic rationale behind several initiatives of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.

The commissioner said the government’s empowerment programme was designed to put money in the hands of residents, particularly low-income earners and small-scale business operators.
