Governor Otti Defrays Arrears Of Salaries Owed Workers Of Institutions By Previous Administrations
In line with the promise of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR to defray arrears of salaries owed workers of institutions in the State by previous administrations, the office of the Accountant General has commenced the payment of the arrears to all verified workers amounting to N17, 629,767,342,09 (Seventeen billion, six hundred and twenty nine million, ,seven hundred and sixty seven thousand, three hundred and forty two, nine Kobo only ).
Governor Alex Otti has paid the first trench of the arrears of workers salaries owed by the immediate past administration.
The Abia state Government wishes to state that the payment will follow a 12- month armortization plan with the first batch already disbursed to the affected institutions.
This structured payment is meant to ensure that other areas of governance do not suffer from lack of attention due to limited financial resources.
By this development
The People’s Governor earmarked N1.5 Billion monthly to instalmentally offset the N18 Billion arrears of salaries within 12 Months.
Ironically, those who looted and plundered salaries of State workers will still shamelessly criticise the Governor for cleaning their mess in the name of opposition politics.
Governor Otti feels fulfilled with the thunderous jubilation and excitement of Abia Workers than the bitterness of those denied access to Statutory Workers and Retirees Entitlements.
Forward Canaan!!!Backward Egypt!!!
