The Imo State Government has
urged Governor Theodore Orji of
Abia State to reconsider his decision
to sack non-indigenes from the
state's civil service.
Orji announced, three weeks ago,
that all non-indigene civil servants
in Abia State should go back to
their own states in order to enable
him pay the new national
minimum wage.
Imo will be the most affected by
this development as it contributes
the highest percentage of non-
indigene workers to neighbouring
Abia.
The Imo State Commissioner for
Information and Strategy, Dr.
Obinna Duruji, condemned the
decision, adding that it was an
outdated thought process.
"Abia State Government's policy of
sacking non-indigenes on its
payroll is anachronistic and
patently obsolete in Nigeria's
present day realities," he said.
"Honestly, the policy is completely
reprehensible."
Duruji added that the Imo State
Government might be forced to
retaliate in other for them to
employ the affected workers.
A tire for Abia state goverment. It baffles ma imagination on why a
goverment should be short-sighted in a this world that goverment are
looking for way forward. Nawahoooo!
