Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has made it clear that his administration has no intention of sacking workers in the state. The governor also maintained that his government will also not resort slashing salaries.
The governor disclosed this to newsmen during an unscheduled visit to some of the parastatals and agencies in the state.
Okorocha, who disclosed that his administration is determined to sanitize the workforce in the state, frowned at the poor attitude of workers to their jobs, especially in the areas of lateness to work and absenteeism. Continue...
“On my tours to some of the government establishments and parastatals, particularly, the Hospital Management Board, I noticed with dismay that most of the workers do not come to work, it appears that state government pays wrong people salaries. Some of the state hospitals I visited, there was no one on duty except one nurse and it is a hospital that is supposed to have 14 doctors. I have resolved to sanitize the system.”
Governor Okorocha urged workers to ensure that they are at their offices during work hours and regretted that the state government pays salaries to ghost-workers and dead people; assuring that government would no longer tolerate the ugly trend.
He urged the public servants to report any fraudulent activities in their various working place and decried a situation where most local government staff keep more than two jobs in the state.
Urging workers to justify their salaries, Okorocha lamented that the Internally Generated Revenue of the state is about the least in Nigeria as a result of fraudulent activities perpetuated by the political appointees, senior staff of ministries, parastatals and local government workers
