 Rivers Govt Approves March Salary For Civil Servants, Suspended Appointees The Rivers State Government has approved the payment of March salaries for all civil servants, public servants, pensioners, and suspended political appointees. This directive was issued by the state's Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas. The approval comes amid growing concerns from labor unions, particularly the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which had recently threatened industrial action over salary delays. The NLC had warned that continued non-payment of wages could result in a statewide shutdown of government activities. However, with this latest development, tensions between the government and labor unions are expected to ease. The Accountant-General has been instructed to ensure that the salaries are remitted without delay, according to a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika.

Mary Muriuki, principal secretary at the Health Ministry, said in a press release that the cases were confirmed in the counties of Kericho and Taita Taveta, and that the outbreak has spread across 12 counties.

According to the official, the government has enhanced surveillance through active case searches, contact listing, tracing, investigation and symptomatic confirmation of confirmed cases.


Control measures


It has also initiated engagement efforts aimed at educating the public on mpox prevention and control measures.


Mpox, caused by a virus in the same family as smallpox, is characterized by high fever and skin lesions known as vesicles. In 2022, outbreaks were triggered in more than 70 countries across the world.


Last August the World Health Organization declared the disease a public health emergency of international concern.


In Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo remains the worst-hit country, with a vast majority of more than 49,000 suspected cases and 1,100 deaths confirmed in the continent since January 2024, according to the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
