Congratulations madam.

I was listening to dej loaf.

So finally Udom has found the heart to send home the illegal civil servant Mrs. Cecilia Udoessien? This woman ought to have gone since 2013 but refused a situation that would have saved the Akwa Ibom Civil service from the pains it is currently undergoing in the hands of the politicians.

Pls before she go, tell her that Leave grant of 2013, 2014&2015, promotion arrears of 2010,2011,2012,2013, had not been paid, Sec Sch teachers recruited since 2013 had not been paid for even 1montj.
