Briefing journalists after the State Executive Council meeting in Abakaliki, the commissioner for information and state orientation, Mr. Jude Okpor, said Governor Francis Nwifuru had ordered immediate implementation of the increase.
“The issue of workers’ salaries was raised and deliberated on by exco. The executive council approved that N10,000 be added to every worker’s salary in the state to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal,” he said. Mr. Okpor said the State Executive Council also approved the employment of 1,454 indigenes into the state civil service to fill vacancies created over the years.
“Governor Nwifuru has mandated the SSG, Professor Grace Umezuruike, to look into the finances of the State University to know what comes out and goes into the university to help determine the upward review of subventions to the university,” he said. Okpor disclosed that the council also deliberated on the crises in some parts of the state and set up a 17-member committee with a view to resolving them.
