Is there no check and balance structure in Imo, can the House of Assembly or the Judiciary not intervene and cut this excess?

A whole 3 weeks see enjoyment.

fkdmods:


Do you understand how absurd it is for a government to declare a 3 week holiday? No wonder they don't pay salaries? They hardly do anything so why pay them? Una never see anything. Una problems for Nigeria just begin.

The state, I believe, has fund issues. That you are in Contonou does not make you better than some of us here. Let Nigeria's problem be Nigerians'.

Chief Rochas Okorocha now share d same weed with d devil...

when will this man quit his gbana smoking habit.?

Someone from cotonou is definitely better than you with the way you think. Unbelievable.

THATS WHAT U GET WHEN U HAVE A WEED SMOKING GOVERNOR

I used to think that Imo people are one of the most advanced and enlightened Igbo people until this Okorocha movie began to play.
Leadership recruitment process in Africa is still highly archaic. Until we begin to scrutinize the intellectual capabilities of those aspiring to lead us, we can never make any headway.
The quantum of destruction this Okorocha man will leave in Imo State is going to be of mountainous proportion! He has wrecked the State's Civil Service. The opinion of the Governor is equivalent to law. He personalised governance in Imo State. I read few day ago that his wife heads four ministries in the State. What a shame to an Igbo State!
I pity Africa!

so thats what u call enjoyment
hotel and fast junk food
100 level mentality

a whole three weeks .no work.no hustle..say wetin hapun.

the hotels are so much that in some areas if you throw a hypothetical stone it will hit 3-5 hotels before it gets to the ground. there are no tourist sites in the state that need that much hotels. however, go to those hotels at night during the weekends, even a priest would wonder at the amount of girls there. I know a street 5 hotels facing each other.

He whom the gods will kill they first make mad.


Okorocha seems to have lost it.


Even in Cross River where they declare such holidays, it is with a view at revenue generation which comes in through influx of tourists. But here we have a government that is sending people away and grounding the ministries and other organs of government for a whooping 3weeks!

This governor is fxxing insane, seriously.

We have never seen such an erratic character in governance.

The fxxard deludes himself that he is an emperor.

So I heard.

Three weeks or 3 days for public holiday? Hmmm! This is rather counter productive. Where will he generate fund to pay the worker?

Sometimes, Gov. Okorocha is funny with his economic policies. It had not been long when he said that civil servants have only 3 days to attend to their duties while remaining 2 days are for farming. Thank God NLC kicked against it.

3 weeks?haba! na their women and girls toto I pity. Born throway go plenty for there next year

3 weeks public holidays without paying salaries?

Are you serious

3 weeks public holiday? For what reason(s), exactly? Does that slowpoke even know that the government loses a lot of money during public holidays? So the Imo state employees are all going get a free 3 weeks pay check? Na wa o.

Nigeria doesn't deserve to be an independent nation. We simply can't rule ourselves, let's invite back the Brits.

O pari

I just hope the state allocation has not been used for MMM!

imo state do not have a governor oooooooooooooooooooooo

he can do that cos he has not statistics of how much the state make or lose during public holiday.

MayorofLagos:

Is there no check and balance structure in Imo, can the House of Assembly or the Judiciary not intervene and cut this excess?

Public Holidays Act:

(2) Subject to section 1 of this Act and subsection (1) of this section, the Governor of a State may by public notice appoint a special day to be kept as a public holiday in the State concerned or in any part thereof, and any day so appointed shall be kept as a public holiday.

3) In this section "public holiday" includes part of a day and any day declared as a work-free day.

DRIFTyKING:

According to the Pulse Ng, the governor made the declaration during the Imo Day thanksgiving service over the weekend.

The holiday will last from December 19, 2016 to January 10, 2017.

This man is just a big foooooool

mtchw.... iranu... hope bank will open

Owele 1, the inumerocando 1 of the entire Imo state. Bunch of sycophants heading states and the nation at large.

Smh

The Nigerian saga continues.

An ineffective governor deciding that, to improve productivity so that he may be able to pay salaries and get things done the right way, workers should have a holiday for three weeks.

Only in Nigeria.

The sad thing, as always, is that nobody will challenge this. That is what the trade and transport unions are supposed to do but the considerable power that they yield is rendered useless by corruption.

Anyways, how anybody could expect an iota of efficiency from a man who wears a scarf all year round is totally beyond me.
