Despite the fall of the monthly allocation of States, Abia State has remained resolute and committed to keep to it’s promises such as making the welfare of its workforce a paramount thing.It could be recalled that Abia State is the only State that handed over its N14.1billion bailout fund to the labour and trade union leaders to manage the disbursement of the fund to the various recipients hence the management of the State’s bailout fund is adjudged the best in the entire federation as stated by the NLC chairmen. 

Worthy of note is that Abia and Lagos States were the two States that paid salaries before Easter. Put differently, the State has remained very prudent in the management of its resources no matter how infinitesimal as the fall on the receivable from N 4.2 billion to N1.9 billion has made the actors to e very creative and innovative. It is however very disheartening that whereas the State wage bill stands at about N3 billion, the State received N1.9 billion. 
It therefore calls on the conscience of the people to appreciate the efforts of the government, the ingenuity and proactivity rather than allowing some miscreants to deceive them with fake, unfounded and malicious news about salaries. 

Be that as it may, the present administration in Abia State, having identified some grey areas as regards the payment of salaries swung into action. Some elements had infiltrated the payment processes in the past, there were ghost workers ravaging the system. That kept the State on the alert. 

The State came up with the idea of manual verification of its workforce thus saved about N300 million in that process. Also, with the automation process in the pension, over 30 retirees were found to be receiving salaries and pensions simultaneously. The government had to stop the payment of such persons until it makes up with what they had taken. Some of these belong to the group shouting they have not been paid this and that.

The issue of ghost workers predates the State’s creation as so it it just hydra-headed. But the government has not relented in its efforts to sanitize the process. Currently, some parastatals and agencies whose staff strength are being queried are under going re-verification process which will herald the advent d the biometric verifications. 

In a verification exercise conducted on Wednesday 6th,April 2016, many over-aged workers were spotted, many proxy representation and other irregularities were discovered. You can imagine the man on this picture claiming to have been born in 1961 while in real sense his grand children may be walking on the streets looking for jobs. 

While the government is working hard to see to the welfare of it’s citizens, it behoves on the citizens to have a change of attitude and stop sabotaging the efforts of the government. These actions therefore calls for the correction of institutional and structural defects without which the problems will continue without to defy known solutions.

Eyaa. Sometimes I don't really blame these guys.

Retirement in the Nigerian system is something every civil servant, especially the low ranking ones, dread. Whereas, in civilised societies, they anxiously look forward to it.

Make dem free the Paapa jor. If he says he's 55, so be it, abi na una born am??

Abi na, na wetin him papa tell am...lol

Retirement from civil service especially in the states is something that needs deep and serious overhaul by all state governors down to d local councils. I read of a retiree from a northern state, can't remember which, that easy still earning about 700naira as pension after retirement in the early 90s.... Very bad!

The government since June 2015 has been calling on people like him to show up for verification,their files are stamped don't pay until they comply with the directives. Background check reveal some persons who are gainfully employed by the Federal government but their names reflect on Abia payrole,thus they are avoiding the verification like plague and waiting for Abia government to relapse so that the money will be paid to them. The state government will soon make the list of ghost wokers and other fruadsters public. The grace period for verification is almost getting to an end

Whatever it is, honestly, I tend to always see these men as victims rather than culprits. They built the foundation upon which the civil service rests today only to be treated like dogs on retirement.

What prevents us from paying these men 70k pensions when a governor could be earning over a billion per year as pension?

The structure of the Nigerian civil service as it stands today is like an inverted pyramid- it is an anomaly badly in need of reconstruction.

I feel terrible whenever I come across these men in banks.

That reminds me.

Sometime three years ago, I was driving out of the house and just along my street before hitting the main road, saw this grandpa trudging along. Pulled over and asked him where he was heading and it was just about half a mile from where I was heading, so I offered to drop him off before proceeding to my destination.

Started chatting and dude surprised me with his flawless english! . He appeared like a man who could hardly construct a correct sentence. Told me he was heading to a meeting of pensioners that they were constantly being short-changed by the banks and want to take a formal position, as a body, over the trend.

Told me stories of what pride it used to be working in the civil service but that today, the whole system has been basterdised by our generation. Told me how they used to remit unspent monies back to the treasury and how transparent they were, but today, all that is no more. Then he asked me a question that got me thinking for the rest of that day. He says "if they had behaved then the way we are now, what would have been left for us to survive on"??

Talked about a few other stuffs and he introduced himself when he was getting off- very refined gentleman I must say.

Bro, the system is really crooked and it would take a lot of will power to fix the rot. I'm not at all saying what the man did it right, I'm just saying were things being done the way they should, we would rarely have incidences like this- he would have been a satisfied and proud "retiree".

Oga the salary your paymaster paid before Easter was for November 2015.

na so una ike to dey hype obodo oyibo like say na heaven.
the west is fucking broke at the moment and they have to borrow money to even pay their pensioners.

the situation looks so dire for them that they might have to default on present debt self, Cherish and be thankful for what we have and pray for more

the west is in decline, Asia is rising and Africa is gradually beginning to wake up, Tanzania and Nigeria just voted for reputed presidents with integrity, joining the ranks of Namibia, Botswana, Ghana, e.t.c in accountable governance.

Peace out.

Please, my brother edit the quoted part. Some Civil servants are yet to receive their January salaries and most ministeries just paid their February salaries on Friday.
Governor Ikpeazu is better than his predecessor, T.A. Orji, no doubts. But there is still much to be done. Instead of bringing propaganda online, you guys should rather tell him the truth. Sycophancy is the major reason most of our leaders don't perform as expected.

I think it's high time for these old men to stop saying our generation spoil this or that, the people who mess up this country are in their 50's, 60's and 70's alot of them are still in government. We are just stating life but they always refer to us as those that mess the civil service up! I don tire.
