TheAdvocate: Dont be ridicoulous. He never said he wont pay. he will surely pay. That post u qouted never stated its even a good thing to owe. The plain truth is Income coming in generally is fast dwindling from what its being expected. Dificits in budgets etc. Surely, there will be delays like this in such scenarios. |

even Akwa Ibom, the land if uncommon salaries is among States where strike is imminent. I wouldn't trust the source, except that it is a recognised paper. In fact I must confirm this from Gov. Akpabio. |

asha80: Of course everyone connected to Abia that you've heard from will say "Abia stinks" because when you hate someone and have been fed with lies and rumours about them, you take in those lies and rumours as the reality; ... and THEN when ufortunate events like the OP occurs, you show up the way you have on this thread and say it buttresses your initial deluded beliefs about Abai. I know that every Imolite, all 100%, as well as indigenes of other states are all satisfied with their respective governors whom meet their expectation. I noticed though how you selected some of your words carefully... using "almost", "probably" and so on... go the whole nine yards, buddy... (guess I shouldn't call you "buddy" unless I'm gay, right?) I'll be back with some projects later, but till then, read the following: Sometime in 2010, the Abia State government after thorough examination of her civil service discovered that it was fraught with fraudulent employment procedures, and ghost workers menace. It was also discovered that some non-indigenous civil servants in the state that were supposed to have been transferred back to their states of origin upon the creation of the state in 1991 on the transfer of service basis had not been transferred. There were also leakages in the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state coupled with over –bloated workers’ wage bill that made it difficult for the state government to meet up with her financial obligations then. As if that was not enough problems for the state, the Imo State Government then sent the files of retired civil servants of Abia origin back to Abia State government to pay their pensions, a development many viewed as unfortunate and vindictive, considering the fact that these were men and women that had given 35 years of their lives in the service of Imo State, only to be denied when it mattered most. All these culminated to the daunting rots in the state civil service then that required urgent attention of the state government, if the sector must play its expected roles in the day-to-day administration of the state. It was on the basis of these obvious challenges that the Abia State government after due consultations with the relevant stakeholders in the state, embarked on the aggressive, and total reformation of the state civil service to address all these fundamental challenges that had bedeviled it for decades. Some of the reforms introduced by the government were transferring of non-indigenous civil servants to their states of origin on transfer of service basis, prompt promotion and retirement of workers, payment of 21,000 as the new minimum wage, introduction of biometric data capturing of all the civil servants in the state, tackling of the ghost workers menace, construction of New ultra modern Workers’ secretariat, renovation of the old Workers’ secretariat, prompt payments of workers salaries and other entitlement as at when due. While majority of the people, especially the workers in the state commended the state government’s intervention in the sector, some cynics and skeptics outside the state who do not understand the magnitude of the problems in the service picked holes on the state government’s decision to transfer some non-indigenous workers to their states of origin on transfer of service basis. This was despite the fact that the state governor, Chief Theodore Orji wrote to his colleague governors in advance alerting them of his government’s plan to transfer the workers back to their states of origin, due to some financial constraints his government was facing then. Till today, none of the state governors that were written to by Governor Orji over the matter has debunked it; meaning that they were duly informed and carried along by the Abia State government before and after the workers were transferred. But quite unfortunate and disappointing, most of the governors of the affected states have up till today refused to absorb the transferred workers, despite the fact that their civil service system is under-staffed. Having plugged all the financial leakages that fret government revenues into private pockets before now, coupled with the state government’s prudent managing of resources, the Abia State government recently announced plans to recruit more workers into the state civil service and has decided to use the opportunity to re-absorb the non-indigenous workers that were transferred to their states of origin some years ago, but are yet to be re-absorb by their state governments. It was as a result of this that the state governor, Theodore Orji called on the affected non-indigenous civil servants to re-apply for possible re-absorption into the civil service. The news of the planned recruitment of workers, and re-absorption of the disengaged non-indigenous workers in the state which was broken during a post-executive council briefing at Government House, Umuahia recently by the Information and Culture Commissioner, Eze Chikamnayo said the decision was taken by the council with the governor presiding. He explained that the council deliberated decisively on the need to inject fresh blood into the civil service by way of employing the teeming population of youths in order to reduce the worsening unemployment market. The Information and Strategy Commissioner explained that by the development, those who were disengaged in 2010, and who still want to return to their duty posts can now re-apply for consideration. According to him their reapplying for consideration would not make them inferior as they stand the chances of returning to their former positions they occupied, adding that already the Head of Service and the Commissioner for Education had been ordered to come up with the modalities. He continued that the modalities would also take into serious consideration those that left their places of work due to the rampaging Boko Haram insurgency in the North, saying that government had concluded plans to also absorb them into the service. Obviously, the development is a good omen, and a step in the right direction, because it is not too late for the affected workers especially as their states governments have refused to re-absorb them since then. By this timely decision, it could be assumed that Governor Orji has displayed high level of courage, and understanding in governance. Not many political leaders of today can summon such courage to bend backward in the interest of humanity. Courage, they say is what it takes to stand up and speak; and also what it takes to sit down and listen. Gov. Orji as a leader has shown that leadership is not a one-way traffic that is static and irreversible. He has stood up to speak when it was necessary and had also sat down to listen when it was needful. His recent decision on the issue is exemplary, and a strong demonstration of courage for other leaders to emulateIt is only visionary leaders that can see beyond their noses and act quickly to save situations. It could be recalled that Orji’s government inherited huge debt approximately N30 billion from his predecessor, over bloated workforce with nearly empty treasury and backlog of salaries owed workers. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/11/abia-govt-and-the-non-indigenous-civil-servants/ |
