Bia nna, Peter has done his part just as Ngige did and Obiano is doing. Good for us but your hate for Peter isn't worth it. Good to know that Anambra civil servants have been receiving alerts since 25th monday for May salaries while other states are owning months. Let's celebrate our good leaders.

With the conscious effort and massive infrastructural development in Awka. I can only place the city side by side with Abuja and Uyo in terms major infrastructural development which can not be seen anywhere in the east.

No comparison nwanne. This is not a comparison thread. Because whatever one says here remains an opinion with person.

Awka remains the most beautiful and most modern.

The major areas they were removed from has totally sent bikes out of Anambra as a whole. If they can't ply those major link ways how will they connect with the other places in a city for instance? I see them moving towards rural areas from now on which is actually where they are needed mostly.

The last time I visited Ph I saw bikes even in a large town as Obigbo and other surburbs but not in PHC.

Anambra State Governor Chief Willie Obiano today stated that the promises made to the labour at the inception of his administration have been fulfilled. The governor made the assertion when he received in audience a delegation led by the new Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Anambra State Chapter, Comrade Jerry Nnubia at the Governors’ Lodge in Amawbia.

Governor Obiano observed that though the revenue from the federal government had depleted, the payment of salary was not an issue, confirming that he had issued a standing directive that workers’ salaries be paid on the 25th of every month. According to him, “We take welfare of workers seriously because we know that motivation is important for optimum performance and the achievement of the goals we have set for ourselves in the state. Indeed Anambra is currently one of the states in Nigeria that pay salaries as and when due.”

He however reassured the NLC, Anambra state chapter that as the revenue of the state improves, the welfare of the workers would improve as well, noting that the government had earlier provided mass transit bus service for workers, increased the salaries by 15%, and also shared 50kg bags of rice for all workers in the state during the festive season amongst others.

On the efficiency of the workers the governor said, “There are obvious gaps and the approach of my administration is to focus on training and retraining of workers to enable them face the challenges and deliver especially in the revenue mobilizing effort of the government. Training is critical in service delivery”. The Governor reiterated

Obiano explained that workers will be trained and moved to ministries where they will be most useful. He also ceased the opportunity to appeal to workers to take their duties more responsibly; endeavour to be at their duty posts and make maximal use of the working period as the government is doing everything possible to ensure that workers are properly taken care of. He also congratulated the new chairman of the NLC in Anambra state on the successful election and wished him a fruitful tenure.

Speaking earlier, the leader of the delegation and the state chairman NLC, Comrade Jerry Nnubia thanked the governor for the security in Anambra state and the giant strides in the administrations four pillars of government which include Agriculture, Oil and Gas, Trade and Commerce, and Industrialization. He however highlighted the major issues that the NLC Anambra state chapter needs government’s attention, such as provision of low cost housing for the workers, cancellation of all contract appointments, implementation of National Minimum wage, implementation of consolidated Health Salary Structure.

Other requests by the NLC delegation include; the appointment of Special Adviser on Labour Matters, the problems of staff of local government, constructing of Labour House, as well as the issue the need to resolve issue of posting at the state Internal Revenue Service and threats of retrenchment of staff of Anambra Broadcasting Service.

Don't deny because everything about the post was your name, texture, tone, mood and style.

Bro, abeg, na you truly be that? You really to chop up

The stance by the riders, according to Vanguard, follows rumours that the state government was planning to enforce a ban on Okada in major cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi.

The motorcyclists under the platform of Motorcycle Transport Union of Nigeria (MTUN), issued a warning that that the ban on their operations in the state will lead to a surge in crime rate because some people will be unemployed.

“Anybody who bans Okada operation in the state is inviting criminals to return in the state ” they cautioned.

Making the position of the Union known, president of MTUN, Chief John Onedibe said enforcing any ban on Okada would pose grave consequences for the state.

He estimated that about 10,000 Okada riders in Anambra would be pushed out of job if the ban is enforced, signaling that it will lead to a spike in crime rate.

Anambra state is not the first in Nigeria to enforce the ban on the operations of motorcycle operators, many other states across the country have also enforced such bans citing security and safety reasons among others.

Investment in education sector is mostly long term one.Obi invested in it and Obiano is reaping the benefits now

Noneroone:
he started it by selling Limca?

Chiwude:
I agree with what you said. But look at Obiano and the industrial revolution taken place in Anambra (although started by Obi). I see a burden of absolving mass influx of unemployed Igbo youths from other SE states into your state in the long run and that is why people like Rochas and the new Governors in say Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia need in ensure that they industrialize their various states. Education is paramount I agree, but what is education worth without jobs for the youths. E he ri akukwo tupu e gu chara schoolu.

No,its not about liking what you post but the fact that you have to be in my face , so I dont have any option but to look at the rubbish you write. The reason why you can open your own thread is because Omanbalas will not come there just like they have ignored you on so many occasions. Therefore,you chose to come here to disturb our peace.[/s]
