Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has sacked scores of workers in 19 parastatals, agencies and departments, even as their salaries had been stopped with effect from Monday, January 4, 2016.
Vanguard gathered that the current action of the Governor, came on the heels of last Wednesday’s protest in Owerri, by the Nigerian Labour Congress, headed by factional National President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba.
It was also gathered that the governor’s action is closely linked to the recent form which the administration forced Imo workers to sign before collecting their unpaid salaries.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of Imo State, Sir Jude Ejiogu, the workers caught in the sack-web includes the Imo Water Corporation, Imo Cattle Market, Imo Sports Council, Imo State Environmental Transformation Commission, ENTRACO, Imo Marketing Company, Imo Consumer Protection Council, Hospital Management Board, including its headquarters staff.
