Pls for now, let nobody come here to tell us anything again about what someone told him or her about paying us our promotion. The government, you and the person that told you has so far failed us. Even some that doesn't have source, them go still tell us. Enough is enough. One day government will pay us. Let's concentrate on the letter now, since is obvious that without it we can't be paid.

Kindsoul55:
Ours will surely come...I attended the civil service week program. Governor said it's a gradual process, But when it comes them go pay all. From June till the day them dey pay

And you believed them? Well you can believe them. I have reset my mood to seeing is believing. I can't believe anyone called politician. They don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean. Leave them, make them allow the poor breathe oooo

My humble advice for those who want to protest, pls be careful how you people go about this plan. Government may misunderstood your plans and tag it sponsored protest from the opposition party. They are paying us and things are hard like this, imagine if the salary isn't coming how it will be. Pls we have not died for more than 10 years and we will not also die now. So before you embark on this kind of protest ensure you have considered all options available to you. FOR ME...I NO JOIN ANY PROTEST AND CAN NEVER PROTEST IN NIGERIA. CONSIDERING THE POLICE BRUTALITY, INTIMIDATION AND IMPUNITY FROM GOVERNMENT. I CAN NEVER AND WILL NEVER PROTEST. Make una use una head oooo.

PRESS RELEASE

GOV. FUBARA CLEARS THE AIR ON CANCELLED IAUE EMPLOYMENT PROCESS

...Restates commitment to youth development

Rivers State Governor, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara,GSSRS has cleared the air on the decision of the Rivers State Government to cancel the recent employment at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education saying it was as a result of the glaring irregularities associated with the process.

Governor Fubara gave the explanation and cleared the air on the issue at Government House Port Harcourt, while addressing the Rivers State chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, who were on a courtesy visit.

The governor said the employment process contravened the earlier approval of the government which okayed the employment of 420 academic staff out of a total of 867 persons, but on the contrary, a total of 1900 persons were employed out of which only 123 were academic staff.

According to him, "We are going to revisit it and that second process will be strictly on the initial approval, ensuring that the academic staff are more. We must give our people the best, that decision is in the best interest of the state, and more especially the future of our state."

Sir Fubara who assured the commitment of his administration towards youths empowerment and development in the state, cautioned the youths against operating in splinters, noting that they can only get government support when they work in unity of purpose.

The governor also said: "we are working with three foreign companies that would bring in few investments. By the time they are established including agricultural projects, youth restiveness would reduce to the barest minimum."

Earlier in his address, the Chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria, Rivers State chapter, AMB. Chijioke Ihunwo said the visit was to congratulate the Governor on his electoral victory and the appointment of a youth activist, Chisom Gbali as Commissioner of Youth Affairs in the state.

He also appealed for the reconsideration of the state government's decision on the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education employment process as it affects majority of the youths of the state.

I will keep posting updates here as long as I get them. Pls verify further because things can change over night. After the shocking message of the level 10 promotion and letters been out. A friend went to the Board headquarters and he was told that for now, no information on the letters, that the governor has not given the order yet. That they said board has no chairman but acting chairman. That they are still begging and hoping it will change. They also said the financial implications is high on teachers because many are going to level 16 and the state has no money to accommodate it. Is only God that will help us. Informations can change over time, so verify and if it changes act with the later.

Okay, thanks to those who inquired. I know it's normally before 15th. Let's hope to say how it will end now.

Adola1:
The issue is not concluded yet, but Level 10 is what they are offering to Teachers especially the 13,000 teachers.

Hmmm, my dear I also heard that principals were asked to prepare new emergency voucher today and submit. Abeg if you are close to your principal, find out if it is true and what new information is attached.

Shocking news

Pls I heard from someone who is a supervisor at one of the boards that the promotion letter is out but teachers were only promoted to level 10 instead of 12. Pls who has another information or who can confirm this news?

TheWatchDog:
I feel somehow to ask him about his take home pay, but i'm sure it's more than 127k.

Thank you for your previous responses. I leave this one to when we see salary cos since you didn't ask him again and you are saying you are sure.....hmmmm, who you come ask to be this sure? Anyways nice interacting with you. But if you later ask questions, abeg drop response.

gold360:
there wasn't any deduction in his payment, he isn't a teacher

I know you said so from your earlier post. I mean after tax deductions by state government, is the take home of the new salary UpTo 120k?

TheWatchDog:
He was employed 2013 and was promoted to level 12 step 6 from level 8 step 3.

Thank you for your quick response. If you don't mind, pls did he tell you if his take home pay was UpTo 120k after deductions. Pls help with this last one.

TheWatchDog:
My younger brother in the Ministry of finance told me he was paid his new salary of promotion.

Nice one. There is hope. We heard that they are still within the ministries. Let's hope they get to us asap. Pls, can you help us know through him the level and step they placed him. So that we can be guilded as not to over expect too much money while it is small.

MaksLove:


No wonder the sssb recruitment was halted.

That was why she was transfered immediately out the Board. She was lucky not to have been sacked. That incident is why the job was stopped and also halted our letters. But let us pray it gets to us soon.

I called two different persons at board, I was told they have not started giving. That it is only the ministries that are giving and that there is no how they will give them and exclude us. We are in for a longer time here. Pls those who know people at senior secondary schools board should also call to share with us their own response.

emekatex:
I was with a staff who works in a law court in Rivers State yesterday, she told me that she was issued a promotion letter of level 10 (She was in grade level 7, Employed with SSCE certificate) which she photocopied and submitted a copy to their admin officer as they were directed to do.
She told me categorically that the new salary was neither paid to her nor any other staff in her place of work in June salary. However, that they are hopeful it would reflect in their july salary.

Is good we are finding out things by ourselves. You didn't ask the step they placed her on the level 10? Anyways, let's be hopeful ours will take place this month. I was told the board chairperson was suspended then because of she was caught selling the job slots at 500k. But I don't know how true sha, and that made out letters to be stepped down.

[quote author=emekatex post=124127863]
Ministry of justice. someone was in level 8 but has been promoted with letter issued to level 12.[/quot


pls level 12 step what exactly?

emekatex:

It's net salary, the gross is 155k after deductions it reduced to 128k and some fractions. I saw it with my two eyes as well as on the person's payment alerts for several months. I meant level 12 step 8

This is serious... Apart from seeing our promotion letter, does it mean no one has seen our correct step? Some say 12 step 6, others say step 5. Abeg who don see our own oooo?

gold360:
he may be right depending on his ministry, department or agency. But for UBE is up to 120k

This serious. Does UBE have any advantage over senior secondary in terms of salary?

emekatex:

Level 12 step 8 is 128k. I saw it from my school voucher. Level 10 though I have forgotten the step is 105k

Okay, let's just hope our steps gets above 6. I can't wait to so promotion letter, at least make I see wetin them put for us.

I just heard from a retired civil servant, that level 12 take home is not UpTo 100k after deductions. Pls who has heard or seen a different figure?

The Federal Government has declared Wednesday, June 28 and Thursday, June 29 as Public Holiday to mark this year’s El-el-Kabir celebration and felicitates with Muslims home and abroad.

gold360:
Thursday and Friday are Muslim public holidays, our letters may be ready before then. Amen

This one no get source at all, e no go well. Out on social media or out say I go hold am enter month of July? Abeg add oil to your source.

chrissoki:


That's cool, hope it comes with implementation also

Why not, every promotion comes with effective date. All I know is we have been promoted to level 12. We shall also receive our payment when they want because they have failed us 2times.

You have been promoted, stop going back to where you are no more. Very soon, promotion letters will get to everyone.

Another Banga.....

I called someone who is a top civil servant this evening. He said that until we are given the promotion letter, it's assumed that we have not been promoted. He said he has not even gotten. That within the ministry only few persons has gotten. That what happened why Wike didn't pay us was that, the current governor Sim, went and meet with Wike, begging him to allow the effective date of the promotion to be from April, Wike got angry and said it is him (Sim) that will pay it in his government. That was why it was moved to Sim administration. I felt there is a truth in his response. I don comot my mind fully on this new salary until I see alert. Pls this is only a conversation but I still believe God can do something good.
