The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has promised to approve what he termed sleeping allowance to workers in the state.
Okorocha stated this while addressing the workers in the state during the 2018 Workers Day Celebration which held in the state on Tuesday at Heroes Square in Owerri. According the Gov.Okorocha, the gesture is because of the fondness he had for the workers.

Gov.Okorocha also announced automatic promotion for all workers in the state civil service, with the exception of those who are newly employed.

, “I have therefore approved an automatic promotion for all workers of Imo State.

“This automatic promotion means that if you are in Grade Level Eight, you are now in Grade Level Nine.

“This is because since I became governor seven years ago, you have not been promoted.

“Without you, the activities of government would be crippled. You are the engine room behind all our successes.

“I thank you for your patience. You are so dear to me. I can even approve sleeping allowance for you,” Okorocha said while addressing the workers.

On the new minimum wage, Gov.Okorocha promised to abide by whatever decision is reached between the Federal Government and the Nigerian Labour Congress.

Also speaking at the occasion, the state chairman, Trade Union Congress, Paul Akalazu on behalf of Organised Labour in the state, urged the state government to immediately commence payment of 100 percent salaries for all workers.

“We call on the governor to direct the immediate restoration of 100 percent salary payment to all categories of workers as an appreciation of the sacrifices made by the workers during the economic recession.” The Labour Leader also urged the Okorocha led administration to clear all pension arrears and gratuities of the state’s senior citizens.

Suanu’s Blog gathered that the event was characterized by low turnout as many workers reportedly stayed away from the event.
