Three-Day Working Policy Won't Affect Salaries - Okorocha by BeeBeeOoh(m): 12:27am On Aug 30, 2016
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has insisted that the three-day working policy crafted by the state government for civil servants in the state stands.

The confirmation came barely few days after the Nigeria Labour Congress in the state protested against the policy and other ills by the state government.

He also said that the cutting of the working days to three from five would have no interference with the workers’ salaries and allowances.

“I will not cut workers’ salaries because of the two days,“ he said.

Okorocha, while briefing journalists on Monday in Owerri after his overseas trip, stated that workers would go to work between Mondays and Wednesdays, leaving Thursdays and Fridays for agricultural activities.

He, however, noted that any worker that would not come to his or her duty post for any reason must get a written document (permission) from either the Head of Service or Chief of Staff (in the Government House) of the state.

Okorocha said, “Any worker, who is not found in his/her duty post without permission or exemption letter from the Head of Service or his counterpart will immediately lose his/her position to another person from his or her community.”

The governor added that the civil servants working days were cut because they (workers) did not make judicious use of their official hours.

“Instead of being devoted to the work they are paid for, they use their official hours to loiter about; they sell groundnut, gala, chin-chin and sieve egusi, among others, in the office. I decided to reduce the working days because I want to enhance agriculture in the state.”

There is nothing that is cultivated or produced in the state. All the things we eat like tomato, pepper, cucumber, groundnut and others things are produced in the North. Think of a situation where the northerners decide to stop supplying us with these edibles, what happens?”

In strong terms, he maintained that the state government had paid all salaries of workers in the state, up to August, 2016. On the part of pensioners, he promised that they would soon receive all arrears of their pension.

Okorocha said that over 3000 fresh computer literate graduates would soon be employed in the civil service to develop the economy.

He regretted that over 95 per cent of Imo State workers were not computer literate and attributed their low productivity to it.

Meanwhile, Okorocha had said that he was hale and hearty and told Imo citizens and Nigerians to dismiss the rumour and postings on the Facebook /Internet that he was dead.

He said, “The rumour only came from my political opponents. They wished me dead, but God Almighty has put them to shame. They even went further to dispel rumours that goddess of Nworie and Otamiri River slapped me. I am alive and bouncing in the Lord. I only travelled for economic mission and to visit my daughter, who has given me another grandson.”

This recently completed tunnel was built in Imo
state using an ultra modern technology that
temporarily converts cars to yachts when passing
through.
Should be named the transformer tunnel. This
single lane tunnel cost 10 billion naira and was
built by Rocha's Okorocha in 2016.
No drainage. Free yacht conversion, you can try it
with your car.

Not just tell them to go and farm as he has a responsibility to see that the State Ministry of Agriculture empower Imolites with the knowledge of how to productively grow these crops, make hybrid seeds easily available for people to buy then post handling and value addition.

The truth is that you can't force the populace to farm, just focus on the strength of the farmers, Palm oil ogbono and the rest. Those are the pride of South East. They will do well and average igbo man will rather focus on other business than farming.
Re: Three-Day Working Policy Won't Affect Salaries - Okorocha by BiafraIShere(m): 8:23am On Aug 30, 2016
So those workers without lands to farm should sleep at home on those days? What a useless policy!
