Governor Rochas Okorocha has ordered payment of three months salary arrears to Imo State civil servants.
With the governor’s directive, workers will get April,May and June salaries at once.

Okorocha, who gave the directive at the weekend during a meeting with Directors of Accounts, Treasurers and Permanent Secretaries at the Government House, assured that henceforth, salaries of civil servants would be paid as and when due.

The governor also set up a committee which would be liaising with the directors of Accounts and the stat’s Accountant-General every month to ensure prompt payment of the salaries of civil servants.

However, Okorocha explained that the 70 and 30 percent revenue sharing formula between labour and the state government does not mean that workers would get only 70 percent of their salaries at the end of each month.
The governor said they could get more, depending on the revenue profile of the state at a particular month.

Shame on him. Was he not getting his own salaries all this while? Why does this look like we should be praising him for paying workers their due?

The cunniest and unproductive governor in the South Eastern region meanwhile check my signature

Good news

They will not be paid.

Welcome development.

The hausa igbo governor

3months? out of how many...Anyway I'm sure civil servants in Imo State will say he's the best governor now...But to be candid the man is trying, the media is just trying to paint him in a bad light cos he belongs to the ruling party...kudos Okorocha... ride on!!!

I just like this oko man

the issue of paying monthly salaries has been a problem for many states and this has led to suffering among workers and it is telling on the masses as well because it is when workers are paid that they will think of buying or carrying out any other things.
kudos to this man for putting his workers in mind there are still some states far lacking behind

Cool

Good.. Its norma dues.. But we rejoicin for a salary being paid atlast.. Its well

Since when has salary paying become an achievement worth reporting like this?
APC nonsense

So we shld clap for Him?

Hope u re paying pensioners too?

some people will still come and praise him for doing what must be done!

I envy these Imo workers.. Altho' some people will say why praise the Governor over doin what e should have done but over here in ondo state where we are still owed 5months salary.. We know the imo people are lucky

3 months, how were they surviving? Insensitivity and the highest level of incompetence on the part of Govt.

His tenure has not been inspiring....not properly harnessing the opportunities Imo State offers.

Ok him go say to himself that he has done the best thing for the people.

Benue@40, a ful at 40 is a miracle to discover. Benue wake up! Ortom see ur junior.

By the time workers pay back their debtors, they'll be back to square one.
