Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has approved the release of the sum of 450 Million Naira as Salary Support to the academic and non-academic staff of Abia State Polytechnic Aba, ABN TV reports.

This is to enable the management of the school to immediately pay 4 months out of the salaries owed workers of the tertiary institution, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Onyebuchi Ememanka said in a statement.

The governor while playing host to a delegation of Student Leaders from the tertiary institutions in Abia State who paid him a solidarity visit at the Governor's Lodge Aba on Wednesday made it clear that while the State Government is not responsible for the payment of the salaries of the workers of the Polytechnic or any other tertiary institutions in the State, his administration will not abandon the Polytechnic.

The release read in part, "According to the Governor, what the State Government owes the Institution is a Monthly Subvention of 90 Million Naira, stating that his administration has so far paid a total sum of 7.1 Billion Naira to the Polytechnic since he assumed office in 2015, translating to 92 Million Naira every month for the 78 months he has been in office as Governor.

"With this 450 Million Naira additional support, the Polytechnic has received over 7.5 Billion Naira from his administration and wonders why the institution is unable to manage their internal financial issues since they collect and retain all manner of fees from their students.

"Governor Okezie Ikpeazu insisted that the Polytechnic must be able to manage what is available to them since they handle their admissions independently and recruit their own staff.

Read well before writing in public. The governor said he did them a favour by adding that 450m, since they had collected over N7bn from his administration and they also retain all the fees and monies collected from students. It means then that the schools are not financially savvy, or they are corrupt!

This man remains the igbo version of Yahaya Bello in terms of performance.

Ikpeazu, I will still blame you for the mess in Abia State Polytechnic because you appointed the VC of the poly, if he is not performing well, then sack him.

At least better.....why wait until things are out of proportion..... can't you guys be proactive for once

GreyLaw:


Read well

That what? Why will they go on strike if they are not being owed

You think the nonsense subvention funds lies can convince intelligent beings

Mad Man

Paying workers salary is not achievement. It is wickedness to deny laborers their wages.

Where were these money when you put your people in a bondages of acute poverty and serial hardship. The God that touched your hearts to approved this will also deliver others from your hands.

Read the post again. I added some things to my original quote.

Who is eating the money since dey dont remit anything to the state government? Bcus in delta state owned uni n poly remit to state govt. Humans wicked sha.

Nice

"We warned them not to bring Apc now see the results"....these set of " Warners" voted Ikpeazu twice!!! Seems they love warning others a lot.

Our politicians are very wicked

I wonder where the money will come from, since every aspect of Nigeria is broke

So the state government has been doing their part of the bargain? What happened then? Why the reported Owings to the lecturers? Somebody is not telling us the truth.

Exactly, it means you are one of the very few people who read the post. It means the schools are either not financially savvy, or they are corrupt!
