ABIA State Government Friday commenced disbursing the N14.152 bailout fund to clear the arrears of salary owed workers in the State.



The total debt so far captured by the Committee constituted by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to handle the disbursement of the fund as at its last week’s sitting was about N7.1 billion according to the state chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC Comrade Uchenna Obigwe.

Ministries and Parastatals so far captured by the Committee include Health Management Board, whose workers are owed seven months arrears and Abia State University Teaching Hospital, Aba, being owed about nine months arrears.

Others were Primary School Teachers owed three months, Local Government workers owed two months, Local Government Pensions said to be owed two months and MDAs whose arrears range between one to two months.

According to Obigwe, who is a member of the committee, the money for the payment of Local Government workers has been paid to the Joints Accounts Committee with instructions for the opening of a Local Government Bailout Account where the money would transferred and disbursed the workers to ensure transparency.

The NLC chairman said that workers in the sectors so far captured would begin to receive bank payment alerts from this week, and urged the workers to be patient assuring that everything was being done to ensure that the disbursement is smooth.

“So far, Local Government staff who are being owed 2 months arrears, money has been made available to the Joint Accounts Committee, JAC, with a directive to the Councils to open separate Local Government Bailout accounts where the money would be transferred to and disbursed to individual workers. The payment was for July and August.

“Primary School teachers were paid for three months, June, July and August. September has already been taken care of by normal allocation. Local Government pensioners were paid July and August.

“Health Management Board workers were paid seven months, ABSUTH workers were paid nine months while the case of parastatals on subvention such as Abia State University and Abia State Polytechnic would be discussed on Tuesday [tomorrow]”, Obigwe explained.

However, the NLC Chairman also explained that the payments were exclusion of leave allowances, promotion arrears, arrears of minimum wage, CONHESS for health workers and arrears overtime.

He further explained that the case of arrears of State Pensioners would be handled in subsequent sitting of the Bailout Committee.

“Labour is happy with Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for keeping to his words not to tamper with the bailout funds because it would have given room for friction between Labour and Government.

“Labour appreciates the transparent nature of the disbursement and will like other issues that involve workers to be handled the same manner. As the disbursement continues, we assure Abia workers the Government will not shortchange them and the leadership of Labour will not betray them.


“Labour in Abia will continue to negotiate with Government on possibility of setting aside some money monthly to address the issue of gratuity, and after the bailout appropriation on arrears of workers salary, if any money remains, the committee will look inwards to see what it can carry for gratuity”, the NLC chairman said.

Who was it disbursed to ?

Has the monies hit individual salary accounts ? When banks get their lists from Treasurers to credit salary accounts, its a 48 hours job by the Funds Transfer unit. Why all this deception ? Past commissioners in Abia state under the former governor are still being owed for 7 months. Staright from the mouth of a commissioner.

By the time hungry masses become violent, una eyes go open. Nigeria is ripe for a revolution. It is thesame story in Osun state...

[size=18pt]I think our 36 states should be merged to form regions as most of this states are not viable in the wake of dwindling oil revenue which is as a result of the global shortfall in petroleum prices in the international market.

What is the use having a states that can not manage its economic policies. Take the issue of Osun states and some other states in the country that were given bail out by the Buhari government because they can not pay their workers. It is very shameful!

Must states be run on bail out all the time? Our states in Nigeria should be merged for their economic survival we should not go on with this american system which we know we can not afford the cost. The past military government created these states with a view to spreading development across Nigeria. But that vision has not brought the needed growth in Nigeria as most of this states are just a platform to produce governors that will later hijack the little resources that are coming to the states.

Massive corruptions by political office holders in past government in Nigeria is also the cause of the inability of states to pay their workers. The massive corruption carried out by politicians in the Jonathan Administration has brought Nigeria to its feet economically.

I think the federal government should consider paying states workers directly instead of channeling the money through the states governors. That will add more transparency to the disbursement exercise especially with a disciplined leader as President Buhari at the federal level.

my take is that the federal government and the senate should look for ways to constitutionally merged most of this unviable states for grassroot development. Nigeria can not afford to continue in this direction.

States should exploit the resources in their states and use it for development instead of just folding their hands and waiting for federal allocation from the federal government.

Your case is irredeemable because it's laden with subconscious hatred for anything Ngwa man represents.

If I may ask, why do you believe this junk when the disbursement of the bail-out fund is being managed by a committee which Abia State NLC is in the Executive?

Read the article posted by Ladyexcellency which I quote the direct comments of Labour Chairman

it baffles me that people like u who are paid to sit on a laptop to write whatever trash comes to ur mind. I do not have faith in Ikpeazu. He has failed to pay Abia state pensioneers since his assumption of office. Ochendo is still dictating the pace from Abuja. That Ikpeazu is an Ngwa man will not make him do any better than his benefactor. U need better employment. Obed should send u to Linda ikeji's blog.

Actually, I don't exchange words with clannish and wayfaring Nairalanders hence I will redirect you back to the direct comments from Abia State Labour Chairman to ponder as to help deliver you from the hatred eating you up from inside.

“Labour Union in Abia State is happy with Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for keeping to his words not to tamper with the bailout funds because it would have given room for friction between Labour and Government.

“Labour appreciates the transparent nature of the disbursement and will like other issues that involve workers to be handled the same manner. As the disbursement continues, we assure Abia workers the Government will not shortchange them and the leadership of Labour will not betray them.


I discuss issues and not gossips. If you want to be enlightened on this board follow me or read through my posts.
