After so many years of protest and appeal, the Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has finally approved the promotion of civil servants for the year 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The news which was made public by the honourable commissioner for information and orientation, Orji Uchenna, was shared on Facebook by the Special Assistant to the governor on media and publicity, Nweze Francis.

In the announcement, he also stated that "His Excellency the Governor has also approved the payment of Pension to all Pensioners in the State with effect from 22nd March, 2022"

This approval is coming few days after the Governor alongside his deputy were dismissed by the Federal High Court over his defection to APC from PDP.

Some Ebonyians have gone online to express shock over the governor's sudden change over the welfare of workers.

Their surprise is hinged on ground that since his emergence as governor of the state, there was an immediate embargo on promotion and recruitment in the state.

The Best Governor in entire South

The judgement of appeal court real humble this man.

This won't save him.

Political prostitutes are not healthy for our democracy.

Which appeal court judgement? Has the appeal court rule yet?

Esama:
The judgement of appeal court real humble this man.

This is just eye service, medicine after death, politicians in Nigeria are just outrightly wicked, they know what to do but won't do it, he was seeing himself as demigod, but now realised he is nothing and needs support.

Congrats to our Hardworking civilians

Lol
It is well

If only he did this before the judgement.
He is already a goner.

Very wicked man, do you know how many people languishing in prison because they refused to sell there ancestral land to Dave umahi, no pension has ever been paid by his govt, no promotion, no recruitment in civil service, minimum wage is still 15k,he intentionally wants to keep people in perpetual poverty and use them as tools

On God!

After the court has sacked his government. These politicians no rate citizens.

His is doing this as an ex-governor which renders it ultra vires.

Umahi is working (infrastructure especially)…

But his human relations level is zero.

He saw himself as god. High up the cliff with his subjects down below.

He stifled opposition and enacted a draconian law against free expression on social media.

You dare not hold contrary opinion to Umahi.

Everybody was suffocating under him with some crying to God in silence.

This judgment just brought him back to reality.

Dave Umahi failed to strike a balance between Physical infrastructure and Human Capital.

No salary increment,
No promotion
No recruitment
No minimum wage.. And you want to lead Nigeria.
