Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has summarily sacked over
3,000 workers in 19 parastatals, agencies and departments, as he stopped
their salaries with effect from January 4, 2016.
Vanguard gathered that “the current action of the governor, which not
only came on the heels of last Wednesday’s labour protest in Owerri,
headed by the National President of Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba
Wabba, is also closely linked with the recent obnoxious form which the
administration forced Imo workers to sign before collecting their unpaid
salaries.”
According to a statement by the Secretary to the Government of Imo
State, Sir Jude Ejiogu, the workers caught in the sack-web include the
Imo Water Corporation, Imo Cattle Market, Imo Sports Council, Imo State
Environmental Transformation Commission, ENTRACO, Imo Marketing Company,
Imo Consumer Protection Council, Hospital Management Board, and its
headquarters staff.
Others are Imo Tourism Board, Imo Blue Lake of Treasure, Imo State
Investment Promotion Agency, Imo Job Centre, Imo Water Development
Agency, IWADA, Imo Library Board, Imo Agricultural Loans Board, Imo
Livestock, Imo Poverty Alleviation Agency, Imo Palm Plantation,
Agricultural Development Programme, ADP and Small Holders Unit.
Government explained that the action followed what it called “a
productivity audit recently conducted in the parastatals, agencies and
departments.”
The statement added that “Government is satisfied that it is no
longer in public interest to keep running these agencies, parastatals
and departments with huge cost on public revenue and no services to the
public, under the present economic realities.”
Government promised that the affected workers would be communicated
to in due course, about the administration’s next line of action
regarding possible re-engagement, after the on-going concessioning
exercise affecting the agencies, departments and parastatals.
The affected staff were ordered to handover all government property
in their possession to their chief executives within 48 hours, while
civil servants on secondment to any of the affected agencies,
parastatals and agencies, were deployed to their parent ministries.
