Imo Government Owes Pensioners N16bn – Okorocha by onomefm(f): 8:24pm On Aug 29, 2016
Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo on Monday said that the total pension burden hanging on Imo Government as at July, 2016, is more than N16 billion.

Okorocha, who made the disclosure during a news conference in Owerri, said his priority now is how to offset the pension burden.
“As we talk, my priority now is to clear the entire pension owe Imo retirees.

“How I will do that is only what is before me now and I will address that soonest, “ he said.
The governor said that his administration had paid backlog of salaries owed Imo workers, adding, “the workers being owed now are only those of judiciary and Imo State University Teaching Hospital. “

Okorocha explained the motive behind the policy directing workers in the state civil service to work from Monday to Wednesday, and go to their farms on Thursdays and Fridays.
He said the policy was to redress the current trend, whereby the state depends largely on states in the northern part of the country for food.

“As we talk, the food we consume in the state like rice, yam, tomatoes, pepper, and livestock all come from the north.
“If they (north) decide to cut the food chain, we will be in serious problem,“ the governor said.
Okorocha stressed that the agricultural policy was also to enable the workers benefit from Federal Government’s agricultural initiative.

Continue deceiving yourself. The pension arrears being talked about here are pension areears from the 12 wasted PDP years that are being cleared, yet you say he's worst governor.

The so called old men and women you insult are not idiots whose objectivity has been blocked by hatred for rochas simply because he joined apc and displaced your hero from aso rock. Those old men and those Imo youths you insult know that even with his plenty faults and fukups, rochas still remains the best Imo governor since Mbakwe. The pension arrears talked about are arrears owed since the 12 years of pdp, so yeah, the old men still know rochas is better for clearing the arrears, albeit slowly.

Stay off my mention please. Do you know what is going on currently in the state. So you claimed all is from PDP(APC is neither owing pension or salary ba) I made my comment based on what is happening currently at the federal level. Enough of waiting for Abuja to distribute funds and lets learn how to help ourselves

Yes I agree it is messed up for states to keep waiting every month to be spoon fed from abuja, but labelling him the 'WORST' governor (whether in imo state or in the entire SE) makes it seem like you don't know the simple meaning of the word 'worst.'

Brothers it amounts to sycophantic if you claim to be saying the truth about Okorocha. Okorocha is the worst governor ever produced by imo state. It is not a political but pure truth. About the pension, the previous administration of PDP paid pensioners, stop fabricating stories about 12 years of PDP. My parents are pensioners and will always tell you that Ohakim never owed them, Rochas is the only governor that has succeeded in pocketing LGA funds to himself by not conducting LGA election throughout his tenure. Our civil service system is in a messy state since Rochas came in. He is evil and will never go free..the blood of those innocent pensioners who died as a result of poverty will never spare him. If you like support evil, evil will be your portion.

Please shut your mouth if don't have anything to write..trust me you are not from imo state. Rochas is the worst governor in Imo and this has nothing to do with politics of PDP. The man is wicked, pensioners were getting paid during Ohakim and Achieve. Stop talking trash because he is APC..As it is today, every imolite is praying for God's intervention in that state. Okorocha is an occultic evil who doesn't want anyone to be happy. But he will never know peace and if you support his wickedness, wickedness and evil will follow you too. Imagine a governor who has destroyed LGA system and only appoint people who get can manilulate..

Can you be objective and tell us what Rochas has done for the past 6 years..The state capital that used to be beautiful is now a shadow of itself..have you heard about his flyover which is now a river naija. Where do we start..Rochas is the worst governor ever produced in Imo state. Ohakim is far better than him, at least Ohakim had pass mark in administration, even better than Rochas in ideas just that his ideas were too flamboyant. Rochas is a criminal and stop defending him before you lay a curse to your generation.
