Okezie Ikpeazu, governor of Abia state, on
Monday announced the slashing of his salary
and travel allowance by 50%.
Ikpeazu said the situation would remain so until
the backlog of workers’ salaries and allowances
owed are cleared and promised to do
everything to ensure that such entitlements are
paid as and when due.
He made this known at government house,
Umuahia, during the swearing-in of Vivian Uma
as the state’s new head of service (HOS).
The governor also called on other appointees to
follow his example if they can, saying there
was need to cut down on the cost of
governance.
He also suggested the introduction of new ways
of doing things and laid emphasis on improving
the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the
state.
Responding, Uma thanked the governor for
giving her the opportunity to serve and
promised to bring about innovation for efficient
service delivery, adding that discipline and
sound ethical conduct will be enthroned in the
service under his watch.
Some workers and pensioners in the state have
not been paid in the last six months.

Though I never supported this man called Ikpeazu, cos he is a product of The worst governor in Africa, TA Orji.

But am beginning to like his recent approaches to governance and dedication to serve. I pray he proves me wrong!


Abia may be better after all!!

T.A Orji should be in prison

Nice move, hope other States owing Civil Servants will do same
