ATM card was needed, I suspect it's just to confirm that your bank name truly matches your name on the biometrics system. All photocopies are done by them do save yourself the expenses, go with all originals.

. Tnx for the info. Pls where exactly is the venue?

dexpee4life:
biometrics has since on Monday started with some UBE schools In Phalga especially CSS Oroworokwo UBE and others

. Does it mean that no one on this forum has done the biometrics or knows someone who has done it so that we can share in the experience?

Pls is there anyone banking with Access cos I just received an alert 'Fail' from Access and wondering what that means.

For someone being kind enough to give nursing mother‘s 1k out of his own pocket has now become a topic of discussion.
Nomatter the good you do, people will still read meaning to it

. Maybe I'm a bit confused here. Who actually gave the 1k or directed for it to be given? Because if it's the governor, I STILL MAINTAIN what I said. But if it's someone giving out of his own benevolence, God bless the person.

Mnwhl, the STRIKE is holding oh

willdavey2k:
Not issue of believing but N1,000 was given to the few nursing mothers available within a short time frame for that day and the rest that came late were ignore that same day.

. We're still talking the same thing...Why weren't all the nursing mothers who came that day given the 1k? And what is even 1k in the economic situation we've found ourselves in now. Who are they deceiving? Mscchew

willdavey2k:
Speaking for PPSB reporting my own version of the Director speech today, he said we should comply with the directives to submit bank statement of account for those affected in the non payment saga that the money is no longer in the pipeline but available to be paid once the directives has been observed this week as a grace for that. And that he spoke with the governor on our behaves concerning the non biometric no payment issues that the governor agreed to pay us our salary without it, and he gave nursing mothers one thousand naira each for there children.

. Do you actually believe this? Esp the 1k for nursing mothers? I refuse to be gullible abeg.

britnd:
Federal Government take court injunction restraining NLC and TUC frm embarking on strick.... hmmm ,dis is serious !

. Don't you think it's GOOD NEWS? The strike means more delay in payment.

Rexmarysweet:
I am not surprised. The whole bragadoccio was for him to used billions of Rivers State money to Finance the PDP National Convention.
I am not surprised. Gov Wike can never surprise me because I have lived in his community during my Nysc days

Some people almost bit off my head in my school when I was stating my disapproval for Wike. I hope they're now satisfied with the recent state of events. I pray that God rescues us from this ONE CHANCE we've entered.

rOsy247:
Salary will flow in from next week.

. Hmm...Will it ever? Source?

Promise made since May 1st and supposed to be redeemed from May 2nd. This is May 10th oh, still waiting.....

Tekzyflex:
Its clear that the system has collapsed. No need to put any effort.

Effort can still be made. PRAYERS can do a lot of things.

Tekzyflex:
Praise be the Lord...... Good news

Hahaha...They got ya.

Chibuking81:
there is no news like that, I just search through online. Our dear governor is after the ghost workers not the the genuine ones. He is also after those that suppose to retire but are still in the service always changing their year of birth , I believe that is why international passport, driving license, voters card, and BVN were among the requirements, because each of them have your date of birth and if conflicted with the year you have in computer, that mean something is wrong.

Ok, I sincerely hope so.

Just got news now that some new teachers appointment has been terminated by wike. Pls someone should pls confirm.

http://dailypost.ng/2016/05/01/may-day-wike-apologizes-over-delay-in-workers-salary/ May Day: Wike apologizes over
delay in workers’ salary
By Victor Azubuike on May 1, 2016
@dailypostngr
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has
directed the immediate payment of April salaries
and allowances of workers in the State on Tuesday,
the 3rd of May.
Governor Wike, who gave the directive at the 2016
Workers’ day celebration in Port Harcourt, said the
slight delay on the April workers’ salaries was as a
result of the ongoing verification exercise, which he
said will definitely be resolved immediately after the
public holiday.
Wike, represented by his Deputy, Ipalibo Banigo
commended workers in the State for their
cooperation and support in the ongoing verification
and staff identification exercise.
Banigo, while appealing to workers in the State for
their continued understanding on the challenging
tax of rebuilding Rivers State, noted that the
request made by the Labour leaders currently
affecting workers in the State will be forwarded to
the Governor of Rivers State and will be addressed.
She said, “His Excellency has directed that
payments of April, 2016 salaries and allowances will
commence on Tuesday. The slight delay in April
salaries occasioned by the staff identification
biometric exercise will definitely be resolved
immediately after this public holiday.”
Earlier, in her speech the State chairperson of
Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Beatrice Itubo while
assuring the State Government of the unflinching
support and cooperation of workers in the State,
appealed to the Rivers State Government to
consider the payment of salaries of staff of the
Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency,
RSSDA, Greater Port Harcourt City Development
Authority, arrears owed TIMARIV workers before the
Agency was disbanded as well as Civil Servants in
various categories in the twenty three Local
Government Councils.
The State Chairman of Trade Union Congress, TUC,
Chika Onuegbu had commended the Rivers State
Government for using Bank Verification number to
eliminate duplicate personnel and ghost workers in
the State.

. Hope this isn't another POLITICAL TALK. Today is almost gone oh....No alert from any bank yet.

Belexy95:
To all those clamouring mistakes from heads of schools and the lackadasical attitude from the board. Did these heads of schools suddenly developed eye problems and became prone to mistakes just after the supreme court judgement? Did the staff at the various boards developed lukewarm attitude over night? How come all this insensitivity to staff welfare started after somebody won at d court? Take note, you can't beat politicians in their game!

. Hahaha...Told dem.

waliezi:
#WikeIsWorking# payment of all outstanding salaries loading............. By may 1st week all of us will be singing praises. Though I hav received 4 feb. n march.

Glad you finally realised the supposed arrear paid you last month was ur March salary. Lol

Fiafiad:
Now it‘s very clear for everyone to understand that the Governor was only pretending to be good at the initial stage.
We should get prepared because we are going to experince more of this in the future.
This Governor who forced himself to power, was never a better choice for Rivers people.

. I was never deceived by his earlier pretences. I was just waiting for the judgement to be able to truly access him. Anyway, my God would NEVER allow anyone to tamper with anything due to me in this job HE gave me. I'll advice UBE teachers to go and find out what's delaying their salary na, rather than just sitting at home hoping for it can't be quite frustrating if at the end of the day, the hope yields nothing. #MayGodSaveUsInThisEra

Access bank alert received. One month, no arrears. Seems our arrears have entered voice mail. Is my intuition being proved right? Hmmmm....still praying.

Asher79:
It was last December.

. Ok, I think those that'll collect arrears in March are those who last received for the Month of Nov which was paid in the 1st wk of Dec. So yours might come together with April salary. I'm writing with the belief that you're in Ppsb. #KeepingOurFingersCrossed.

Asher79:
PPSB Zenith March salary alert just received this morning , as early as 8:30. No February salary and one month's arrears as yet. #Sad!

Pls when last did you receive arrears?

I feel you but I suggest you have a little patience till all these hullabaloo about 'ghost workers' settles down. Mnwhl there's a no that has been posted here a no of times for those in ppsb who need transfer. Can't remember the poster anyway, but just go through the posts.

Asher79:
Well, that's a good point you made but have you thought of the fact that the so-called Board isn't an autonomous/separate entity from the Rivers State Government? Would Wike pretend he's not aware of the salary logjam? Why is it that nobody has resigned for gross incompetence? Why hasn't somebody been fired for causing untold hardships on hapless workers? Why hasn't any official statement been released by the governor himself in relation to the wicked delay of salaries? If he's not part of the problem, why hasn't he addressed civil servants already? Well, I could ask plenty of whys. But I guess the answer lies exactly in the obvious fact that this is really what the "NEW Rivers vision" is all about, right? By the way, what is really new or ingenious about putting old wine in a new wineskin? Or can a leopard easily get rid of the spots on its skin? Indeed, old habits really do die hard. Even the much maligned Amaechi didn't treat us this bad. It's a shame how myopic we Rivers people are. It's a big shame!

. Gbam!!! I for one NEVER trusted this Wike but when he emerged victorious, I begged God for my instincts to be wrong this time around...Still hoping my prayer will be answered eventually.

Oriuwa:
PRAYER FOR US, WHO ARE INTO THIS BUSINESS TOGETHER.

debans22:
No need of going to the board because we where there this morning, and were asked by the pay roll director to go home that they have returned back the list to finance. He also told us that they have taken care of everybody especially the new teachers, that it will not affect our salary

. Did they give you an idea of when payment will commence?

Asher79:
Before this new administration and the first few months after it took the reins of power, workers' salaries were paid hitch-free. After a while, they told Rivers citizens that the wage bill was over bloated, hence they embarked on a gruelling 4-week verification exercise in order to expunge the ever-lurking names of "ghost workers" from the payroll. But from the information I got today, the mixup in the February salaries is based on the fact that they are using the old vouchers to execute payment of salaries. So, the question is: what was the essence of subjecting people to undergo a verification exercise that lasted for over three weeks, if you have to turn around to continue using the old vouchers? As if the pain and suffering weren't enough, we were given a new set of forms to fill out and attach our passport photo, all in the name of verification.
Why are people in authority busy causing confusion in the system? Why?

. I have always said the TRUE colours of this governor will show after elections. A yuwa....Anyway I wouldn't want to say 'This is just the beginning' cos I pray it doesn't continue like this.

heaven55:
tank God for the organizational effienxy of UBE

. I finally didn't have to go cos our pal quickly sent us a message that she has done it for all of us. So others under Ppsb, find out from ur pals pls.

Oriuwa:
SOURCE PLEASE?

. Seems it's true. M colleagus just called me and said he's there and the crowd is something else. Once you confirm that your name is there, you write ur I'd and computer no, bank acct no and bank, then submit to the acct officer. Said it's been on since last week.

Pls how true is this info? Just got it now: PPSB should go to the board an check the list pasted there, if ur name falls there, it means you'll be paid March salary.

jeccy:
We are the 2nd batch of ppsb we were supposed to get anoda arrears by Feb. d 1st batch of ppsb were paid arrears in Jan

That's what I thought. I think those paid arrears were mistakenly done so, and if true, all will be rectified, and d amount deducted from their salary. Let's see how March salary will be anyway.
