Abia Health Workers Protest Over Unpaid 6 Months Salaries by Nobody: 4:45pm On Aug 15, 2016 |
Abia State health workers have locked the gate leading into their premises to protest the non payment of their six months’ salaries by the state government on Friday. Speaking with newsmen in Umuahia, the Secretary Joint Action Committee of all Labour Unions, Mbanefo Ifeanyi, said that the state government was owing health workers in the state six months’ salaries. Ifeanyi said that the union had written to the state Commissioner for Health over the issue, including the inability of the government to pay the stipulated minimum wage and Consolidated Health Salary Structure [CONHESS]. He also said that the present administration has refused to look into the disparity in the salary structure. He said, “We also want the state government to restore the night allowances which has been stopped for a long time now.” Ifeanyi said that they want the state government to also pay the arrears of their CONHESS which had been approved by the immediate past administration and “has been wasting away on the desk of the health commissioner.” Ifeanyi said, “The commissioner who got wind of our planned protest got back to us that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has approved the payment of two months’ salary, but as we speak nothing has been paid to us which made us to embark on the protest.” Reacting to the issue, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Health, Nkwachukwu Agomuo, said that government was working hard to clear the arrears of salaries of the health workers. Agomuo said that the workers are being owed for five months and not six months, stressing that the state governor has directed that the ministry ensured that the workers are paid. The permanent secretary said that the issue of CONHESS was purely a labour matter. “We are not going to touch that area until the issue of ghost workers is sorted out completely. “There are issues that need to be sorted out like some workers who are not health workers but because they are working in that ministry want to be paid CONHESS,’’ he said. ©Daily Trust (Abuja) http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/labour/abia-health-workers-protest-over-unpaid-6-months-salaries/158964.html

Africonji:I presume dat you are not a civil servant, no wonder you had the effontry to call their protest rubbish, so because Abia state is not the only state owing arrears of salary makes owing of salary acceptable, and for them to embark on a peaceful protest makes them political jobbers, am shocked at how u judge delicate issues such as this, that the country is on recession should not cause you to be naive of the hardship people are passing through, please how should they work with the state government, u don't really understand the plight of these protesters until you find yourself in their shoes, most of them have children that they cater for and you are here posting gibberish. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

the earlier abians learn that ikpuazu has nothing to offer Abia state, the best for them... the obingwa man, has ta orji, chinedu orji, mercy orji, abaribe, many political god fathers, and even supreme court judges to give Abia money to... then he has workers to pay... house officers of Absuth hasn't been paid since January and these are young doctors just starting in the medical field and they are already being introduced to the heartless fold of people who's salaries can be withheld... isn't it wickedness... ikpuazu will only do abians the more u look, the less u see... if only ngwa people will be fully honest to themselves, that nigger is NOT working, he has nothing to offer...even to the alangwa.. they keep deceiving Nigerians that they are building roads, check out those roads, they are roads that are barely used in aba... the very important roads are neglected.... all the important roads are neglected... NOTHING is working in Abia state... Victor Okezie Ikpeazu is completely clueless... quote this anywhere! The only reason most deluded ngwa people will give for wanting him to remain in that position that he knows nothing about how to move it forward and move abia to a greater height, is just cos he is onye ngwa.... the gospel truth is Abia State aghoola state nke ikpeazu!!!!!! All the important roads in aba, are such that if u ply dem, if u no cry, then ur heart strong pass buhari own, yet somebody will say Ogah should not replace that failure of a governor called ikpeazu! 2 Likes |

LorDBolton: I take issue with that your post re Olympics. The reason why those nations you mentioned do well.....in sports....is because they have the cash to sponsor such sports. Then there is the interest factor. Are Nigerians interested in sport (apart from football)? Would you agree if your son or daughter told you she wanted to be a long jumper instead of doctor or lawyer? |

One thing I like our brothers from the east is that they can remove the peck in the eyes of others while leaving the beam/log of wood in theirs. Anytime Aregbe commissions a project, they talk about his salaries arrears while covering people like Ikpeazu, Dickson, Fayose and other PDP governors. This is Ikpeazu's first term and he has started owing workers, at least Aregbe wasn't like that. 8 Likes |

Gozzzy:You said it all. The little money Abia had. He used for settling the judiciary to favour him in both ottis and ogas case. Now the state is broke. Heard he spent over 2bn in ogas case imagine how many personnel that amount would have settled their salary. Thank God his own people are not left out in the sufferring. personally am not suprised, the Ngwas has never been associated with wisdom and insight, just clueless and greedy. |
