Gov. Otti Orders Payment Of April Salary Arrears To Workers

-



Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, has directed immediate payment of arrears of April salaries owed public workers in the state by the immediate past government. 

This is contained in a press release made available to press men by the Chief press secretary to the Governor Kazie Uko. 

According to the release " Governor Otti also ordered the payment of June pensions to retirees, some of whom were being owed upwards of 50 months by the last administration.


The payments are in fulfillment of his campaign promise not to owe pensioners and those in service and to clear all outstanding verified debts.



The Governor gave the directive on Monday after a meeting of the Executive Council which had the Deputy Governor, Engr Ikechukwu Emetu, 16 newly sworn-in Commissioners, the Accountant General and other senior functionaries of the State in attendance.


Dr. Otti directed the Accountant General to ensure that both the April 2023 salary arrears and the June pension are paid before the end of the week, despite the ongoing verification of pensioners and workers in the government payroll.


"I know government will be losing money by making these payments since verifications of workers and pensioners are still going on. So far, we have unearthed a lot of ghost names in our payroll but I also know there are a lot of genuine names there. 


"What we are doing by making these payments, especially as it relates to pensioners, is to help mitigate the sufferings of genuine pensioners, who are mostly elderly and sickly and have had to endure untold hardship for so long," Governor Otti stated, while explaining the reason for his decision.

Otherwise, the schoo reputation is under threat and her certificates will amount to toilet tissues.  The entrance form is purchased from the Ministry of Health at the cost of ₦10,000 paid to UBA. Some students paid a ransom fee between ₦80,000 and ₦150,000 to the school administrators to secure admission. The results are released two weeks after the exam, and those who 'pass' paid additional ₦15,000 to collect admission letters and ₦245,000 for tuition, hostel, books, and uniforms. But no book was given to the students. The selected students are registered as PTS students. Then, after two to three months of phantom lectures, the students paid ₦30,000, called the examination fee. Unfortunately, the so-called examinations are stage-managed whereby the school administrators/teachers collected between ₦500,000 and ₦1 million for any students that want to scale thr
