Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has revealed that he earns a monthly salary of ₦503,000, while Permanent Secretaries in the state earn ₦900,000.

Oborevwori made the disclosure on Thursday, August 20, while speaking in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

According to the governor, the salaries of Permanent Secretaries were increased after they complained that some directors were earning almost the same amount as them.

He said the adjustment was made to address the disparity in pay between the senior civil servants and directors.

“When the Permanent Secretaries said most of the directors are receiving almost the same thing with them, we increased their money.

“Today, Permanent Secretaries, your salary is ₦900,000; my salary is ₦503,000, Governor’s salary. Head of Service is ₦1 million. It’s clear.

“So, you know some of them don’t want their husbands to know how much they are receiving,” Oborevwori said.
