kettykin: Did you read the news at all? Not all civil servants are involved but those who are not essential in running of the State. I believe or rather advice most States to follow suite as this will help a lot in poverty reduction. 2 Likes 1 Share |

3 days times 4 weeks = 12 days. You get paid a month's salary for working just 12 days. The fact still remains all states have overpopulated civil service, and they need to reduce the number drastically. A scenario where government is the largest employer spells doom for the economy of that state, especially when it is all about paperwork with no government owned industries. 1 Like |

Abagworo: I read the news very very well and I understand the content of the News. Imo state is more of a civil service state than any other thing. The government is the largest spender and employer. Many businesses in owerri like the transportation business, eateries, even Ekeonuwa market depends largely on disposable income from the civil servants. On Thursday and Friday the owerri economy will enter some self induced recession because the teachers , internal revenue staff will not be enough to sustain the canteens, eateries and transportation businesses. What stopped Rochas from taking a cue from Obiano by licensing a private firm that would evacuate and export agro products in Imo. Imo should by now be competing with Rivers state for IGR but because of the lack of good policies ,Imo is now loosing the only industry it had exclusive advantage in to Abia and Anambra 4 Likes |

Abagworo: Were you not expecting them to see it as bad policy? For me, I'm not disappointed at their comments. Politics don't let our people reason with their brains again but their hearts. |

Beremx: If almost everyone in imo goes farming who will buy the produce? Is there any scheme set up to buy back these produce from farmers? Are the produce cash crops? Is the farming going to be for subsistence purpose or commercial? These are questions begging to be answered 2 Likes |

Rochas is a certified clown I swear Which land is in Owerri for Agriculture? Abi civil servants go travel Ngor-okpala every other week to farm? Clown with Nafdac number! Dear Rochas, if you are reading this, kindly do the following in the Agric sector: 1. Subsidize fertilizers for farmers in the state 2. Invest in agric research institutes or partner with Root crop research institute in Umudike, Abia: that institute has been supplying disease resistant cassava stems to Abia farmers for ages now. 3. Empower Local Govts to purchase agric equipment and liase with coperative societies to make these equipment available for farmers. will come back for more... 5 Likes |

kettykin: Okorocha can equally arrange for such a show of shame but it's better being realistic than making false claims like Obiano. If indeed you encourage Government being the highest employer of labour then you need a lot of grow up in economic affairs. What Okorocha is experimenting might turn out a viable option for Nigeria as a whole and should be appreciated while we all study the outcome within it's one year lifespan. |

ORO abia kwa ozo o! If you are giving workers 2 days off to engage in 'back to land',you should also make provision for the land.The present economic recession has turned almost every land owner to land seller(money in the bush). Again,your administration has taken most communities land to erect massive structures with no economic relevance.Give them back their land then,we'l see how your 'back to land' works out. |

MaziOmenuko: Are you ignorant of the fact that all that has been done or you are playing politics? Okorocha is under attack for his political affiliation thereby exposing Imo State to all sorts of lies in a bid to discredit his successes. Read and digest this. http://reporters365.com/2016/05/84075/imo-state-government-to-generate-n40bn-from-palm-oil-rubber-commissioner/ The Imo State Government on Wednesday said it would generate over N40 billion annually from rubber and palm oil plantations it established in parts of the state. Mr Udo Agoha, the state Commissioner for Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Owerri. Agoha, however, said that the projected revenue from rubber and palm oil would be far less than what the state anticipated to generate from cassava and cashew crops. “Imo State is the third largest national producer of cassava and the revenue potential in cassava alone is far above what it hopes to get from rubber and palm oil put together when our investment in cassava begins to yield returns. “What is currently going on now is installation of plants for the processing of cassava at various locations and we hope to get more lucid idea of what the revenue potential of the state will be in this sector in few weeks time,’’ he said. The commissioner told NAN that the government’s investment in agriculture was in-line with the diversification programme of the state in the bid to reposition its economy given the downturn of crude oil prices. “Registration and enlightenment program mes are being conducted for potential farmers in the state to encourage them to embrace agriculture as not only wealth creation, but a veritable means for the provision of jobs.’’ He said that Gov. Rochas Okorocha-led administration believed that through these sources, his promise of providing employment opportunities to youths and women would be achieved. The commissioner said that the state had keyed into other agricultural programmes of the Federal Government as well as opened discussion with banks for provision of credit facilities to farmers. “Our focus is to change the mindset of our people from seeing agriculture as subsistence venture, but rather a genuine business that could offer life opportunities,’’ he said. Agoha equally hinted of plans by the state to establish markets where surplus agricultural produce would be procured from farmers to curb wastages. He said that food processing factories were being built by local and foreign investors who took part or were attracted during recent overseas economic tours sponsored by the state government. |

It should be optional. Grounding civil service for 2days is uncalled for. Make it optional, let interested people apply. Making it general will only encourage idleness of the non interested. 3 Likes |

This policy is laughabe. This simply means, IMO state, is at a level of full employment. Everybody is gainfully employed, such that no one within the age bracket of labour force is left to go into agriculture. Hence the need to rationalise the labour time to accommodate all projects. That policy was a product of lazy mental job. comletely gross. |

Abagworo: What they need is commercial agriculture, large scale farming to produce crops that are viable in the markets of Nigeria and Africa. So they can generate revenue for the state to fix those appalling roads or is Rochas planning on having people pay taxes via tubers of yams? People in the villages are not starving, they are surrounded by farmlands. They don't have money to do other things like access quality education, good healthcare and start manufacturing businesses. Farms in schools should be geared towards research, they can sell that research to companies (that is what is done in working countries). This governor is codedly trying to slash salaries. He should reduce his workforce in the civil service and offer them mechanized farming apparatus with the little money he has, reduce political appointees and aides and take a pay cut himself and the deputy governor and every single commissioner. Offer tax incentives to anyone with a viable manufacturing proposal (he has the manpower) and fix his roads partially. Why is it that no governor is speaking of reducing aides and slashing their own salaries and those of political appointees ? 2 Likes 1 Share |
