Ihedioha suspends salaries of alleged illegal workers

Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has suspended payment of salary to all workers employed into the state civil service from January 2018 to March 29, 2019.

Ihedioha said employment of the affected workers did not follow due process, as stipulated by law, adding that his government would not condone illegality of any form.

The Governor directed the Head of Service, Alma Eluwa, to workwith other directors in the state civil service, to ascertain those that merited their employment.

He also constituted a to investigate and fish out all ghost workers, as part of his efforts to sanitise the work force.

This decision followed an allegation made by Labour leaders, led by the state chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Austin Chilakpo, who met with him at Government House, Owerri on Friday.

Chilakpo said: “We have records of people, who illegally got employment and promotion during the past government fFrom 2018 to May 2019. Illegal employment went on in the state to the tune of not less than 5,000 workers. Let the Head of Service say it is not true, and we will come up with evidence.

“Also, some were even promoted to Permanent Secretary without merit. This is why somebody on Level 14 was promoted to become a Permanent Secretary, whereas we have people who are on Level 16 and have been in that position for years. This is not fair.”

The state ant General, Casmir Uzoho, confirmed the allegations of illegal employments and promotions.

Kwara state governor retained the sunset workers and ensure they are receiving salary.

Someone employed more than a year before elections and has been receiving salaries till handover cannot be regarded as sunset worker. Information has it that Ihedioha carefully filtered out workers from Orlu zone who were employed or promoted even before 2018 to sack them based on their origin.

After 18months!!!

This is vindictiveness taken to another level

Keep your sensational reports to yourself.

Okorocha's in-law has lost the election and moved on.

Why is it difficult for you to do the same?

i'm much more concerned about lord lugard and what part of hell he's chilling.

This guy too dull, I don’t he knew he would win the last election. To his surprise he won without been prepared.

What's their fate now?

Those people are they not IMO state indigenes

My able governor.
All these mumuric followers especially the one below me, are always pained whenever Ihedioha moves a step ahead.

We love you my governor.

Ndi imo have entered one chance by voting this criminal occultic wicked mbaise man.

Ihedioha will be the worst governor imo state ever had

They've asked us to mind our business about Imo issues ,hence no comments.

Since it was the NLC that made the allegation, I have no issue with it.

I’ve watched how most of u run to comment thrash on any news on Ihedioha. This Nairaland is so full of dull pple who don’t think.
Who gets into any organization without 1st sanitizing d system before he takes step to move d state forward. I bet most of u talking thrash has never been to the state for once to see d mess d past governor made. D man has been on d seat for less than 2 months and u dull pple are castigating him, bt u cannot castigate d President who is still behaving like a newcomer.
His methods can never b d same with any governor out there. So leave him let him do his thing. Be d judge after his 4 years.
Hypocrisy reeks on dis Nairaland

This ihedioha and makinde have been chasing shadow since may 29. God help Oyo and imo people oh.. Is this what they will pursue for the next four years....

What's their fate now?

Robbery, prostitution, drugs, yahoo stuff, obtain by tricks and false pretence..

Even central banks give bailout to non performing banks simply to avoid outright closure and throwing the employees into the street of joblessness..

This is a gross misplace of priority and potential failure in his governance..
