Following the alarm raised by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Abia State led by Okoro Ogbonnaya, the state government has said it is not embarking on another verification exercise for public and civil servants in the state.

The Abia government, while declaring that 'there is no smoke without fire', explained that workers in the ministries, departments and agencies as well as the 17 LGAs were only asked to upload their credentials online to make documentation of their employment easy for them. The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Okey Kanu disclosed this while briefing the press after this week's executive council meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.

'And like they say, there is always no smoke without fire; the government had planned to make certain appointments from within the civil service and when the files of some senior civil servants were brought forward, it was found out that there were no papers in those files,' he said.
