This is great by obiano. He could've easily put that money into his pocket but he chose to increase workers salaries. By d time this governor hands over there will not b poverty in anambra at all. Kudos.

MizMyColi:

And Aregbesola had the effrontery to make a public show of his crass financial recklessness and ineptitude.

Clearly, Some are working
Others are busy wankwailing.

nne are you from Anambra? if yes? i love you more

Nice. Keep it up. Up Nigeria!

shatap there

up pdp
up apga

only in apc states you'll see workers drinking garri and are here screaming change like a zombie you are.

wike clear the debts Amaechi accumulated
and many others

apc is fraud

Buhari is a terrorist - Elrufai
Amaechi is a thief - Oshiomole
Rochas is a crook - Oby ezekwesili
Aregbesola is a nincompoop - Fashola

owobokiri:
Increasing salaries when he can't pay his contractors or even monitor them. .Misplaced priorities. .

And who are the contractors being owed...Moreover,no governors monitors ongoing projects more than Obiano. You are sad and bitter,isn't it common sense the better workers are paid the higher and better their performance become. Please,take your frustration to Okoroawusa.

When it comes to governors that knows their onions and are equipped and well prepared to do their job nobody beats Akpokuedike!

tomdon:
While other states are owing their workers months of unpaid salaries, anambra state is increasing workers' salary. This is highly commendable. Channels tv just reported that the workers' wages have been increased by 16%.
The governor promised to keep on with the prompt payment of salaries as at when due.
The question is what are the right things done by anambra state that debtors like aregbesola of osun state and his likes need to takes home?

you mean aregberascal

anyways omo osun... LET AREGBE TOUCH YOUR LIFE ONCE MORE

Anambra State on the rise again and always on the rise...


Ex Governor Peter Obi remain one of the best Governors Nigeria ever produced.(Akapbio, Sullivian Chime and Donald Duke)

And Governor Willie Obiano taking up the step is a nice thing.......

But, one advise.... Let us invest more just as Obi did.

We have excess to loan to Imo, Edo and Osun State.

I rep O46..

Vicotex:



ApeC is a fraud.

True. we can see what their change was truly about.

Omenkata:


nne are you from Anambra? if yes? i love you more

Nope

May God continue to bless Anambra and the SE with good leaders. Chineke! Gozibere anyi ndi ochi ochi ka ha n'elokota obodo! Nara otito na mbuni elu o! Iseeee! I pray our leaders come together for the common good of the region and in time we shall be a greater force to be reckoned with both individually and collectively. Let visionary leaders and cabinets be constituted to ensure all it takes to better the lots of our people on all fronts! Gwazikwa ndi yard unu!

THE BEST GOVERNOR NIGERIA HAS EVER PRODUCED, PETER OBI MADE IT POSSIBLE!!! OBIANO SHOULD FOR THE SAKE OF POSTERITY ACKNOWLEDGE THE EFFORTS OF HIS PREDECESSOR.... MEANWHILE I STRONGLY SUGGEST HE INVEST MORE. ANAMBRA IS ON TRACK

I like what Willie is doing in Anambra. The man was a retired Banker, Billionaire and auditor for Shell who enjoying his retirement in America before Peter Obi dragged him back home to become Governor. He still in his first term but people are already saying his second term is a forgone conclusion. I hope he keeps up the good work.

It should be noted that one of the major reasons that Anambra can pay salaries while some states in the South-west are struggling, is commerce. If you remove Lagos state from the South-West, the entire commerce, trade, industries and business of the rest of the South-west states don't come near to the volume of business activities of Anambra

Previous minimum wage in Anambra was 10, 000 Naira and the 15% increase made it 11, 500 Naira which is about half of the minimum wage of other States. Anamra pays lowest in Nigeria.


FOUR years after the National Minimum Wage, NMW, of
N18.000 was signed into law, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Anambra
states and five other states have either refused to
implement it or implemented it partially.
The other states are Ekiti, Niger, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto and
Taraba.

While Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi states have refused to
implement at all, Niger, Plateau, Oyo, Ekiti, Taraba and
Sokoto states have partially implemented the wage.


In Anambra, it was gathered that besides N10,000 the
governor added to all the workers’ salary during a three-
week strike to force implementation, the present
government recently added 15 per cent pay rise.
This also fell short of the N18.000 NMW.


For Ebonyi, while the minimum wage was not being
implemented at all, it was gathered that what was on
ground was a home -made table imposed on the workers by
the government.


Similarly, in Enugu State, nothing has been done to
implement the wage, rather the state government dragged
the organized labour to court over the issue.
In the case of Ekiti State, while the core civil servants are
being paid the wage, workers in the local government are
yet to be paid.


Niger State government fully implemented the minimum
wage for workers in level 1-6, those in level 7 and above,
got something said to be substantial above their existing
salary.


Similarly, in Oyo State, without the involvement of state
chapter of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, the government
approved the payment of the wage to level 1-6 without the
consent of the Public Service Joint Negotiating Council,
PSJNC, the government was dealing with.


When PSJNC resumed negotiation for workers in level 7-17,
the government came up with N19,113.99, with a slight
difference of between N1000 and N2000 increase without
the consent of the negotiating team. It led to three weeks
strike until the intervention of well meaning citizens of the
state. It was, however, gathered that up till now, this figure
has not been implemented.


In Plateau State, implementation commenced in October
2011 for core public workers, but till date, local government
employees are receiving half of what the core civil servants
receive.

Anambra should use that excess to buy up Imo state.. Thank God OVI is working in Abia

nawa, must you do this?

Anambra state has been good, well how do u expect anambra to owe when more than 70% of people living there are traders.. Soo the money going out from the state treasury is low.

Do you know innosson kiara academy is training niger delta militants on technical support under federal government?Anambra is on the different level

austerity biting the rest of Nigeria doesn't stop business people in Anambra from spending money on bars and clubs everyday.The amount those guys spend on a sitting I calculate it in dollars and pounds is a lot,people in abroad can't afford that spending 80/100 dollars daily

Exactly...I've seen people spend 100k every night on average...not one night, I mean every night after work in drinks, nkwobi and isi ewu. These are ordinary traders. State should tax this people as they have a lot of disposable income. Anambra can rake over 100 billion naira a month in taxes if they want to.
