[s]Gentlemen, my response to those disgruntled element who are labouring hard to dent the good image of our Governor: It is about time people learnt to seek information before engaging in a matter the know nothing about.

Gov. Okorocha never caused any problem in Imo but is only doing his best to change the unfortunate tradition of ineptitude and to correct entrenched corrupt practices.

One, why will Imo not boiled when Gov. Okorocha said no to lawyers who take home the sum of N390, 000 as monthly salary while their colleagues in contemporary States go home with less than N100, 000.

While will Imo not boil because Gov Okorocha said no to a situation where Doctors collect N300, 000 to over N 500,000 naira only to allow the indigent people to die as they will never go to work.

He also proposed to give them N50 million and N2 million every month to treat the indigents free but they refused yet our people die for lack of health care. That was the reason for proposed concession.

Why would Imo not boil because Gov insisted that those who earn salaries from abroad should be stopped.

My people, pls it is easy to dent an image of someone you feel that has stood against the free lunch tradition. Any one speaking on policies he knows nothing about may just be one of ghost workers if not one of those recalcitrant unpatriotic enemies of Imo State.

Meanwhile, in his listening manner, Gov Okorocha still sat to agree with the Labour for peace to rain.[/s]

@op can I object, I don't mean to insult you or gov rochas but I will only attack your sense of reasoning and that of your beloved devil or I mean governor , first of doctors are professionals, so also are lawyers. Them earning that amount of money, is not a start off pay, need I remind you and your governor that it takes years to climb in your career, and as you climb so also your salary. Take for instance a grade level 8 officer at the state level earns about 40k with allowances inclusive, when you get to grade level 16 as a director you earn about 200k, and if lucky when made a permanent secretary you earn about 500k. And I am talking of about 35yrs in service or 65years of retirement age.. This is enacted by the civil service rules and regulations.

Now the problem with your so called beloved governor he thinks that earning that huge amount of money is a start off pay, not knowing that it takes years of hard work and dedication to service.. Rochaas ain't no administrator, he knows nothing about civil service, the worst is those that surround him. I blame the head of the civil service of Imo state, one dude called ekenze, because he's not doing his job right when it comes to civil service matters.

Let me make it clear that rochas wants to run Imo state like a family business, where he would decide who gets what, where and how much.
In summary NLC has shown rochas that he's not bigger than the masses. Person wey get ear make him hear.. This is just the beginning. cheers

excellencyabia1:
The his cause of creating all this difficulties are just and not for his and his gang selfish interest, why did he not present it open even to the NLC to see what he is seeing?

What Rochas Okorocha is trying to do is the most sustainable solution to our inept civil service in Nigeria. That is the simple truth. By the time oil falls to 5DPB our only possible means of maintaining huge workforce is by making Government owned parastatals more sustainable by achieving at least 70% self funding.

IMHO the funds should have been directed to free education and building of more schools. Will Imolites be happy if free education is cancelled because of most funds going to paying ghost workers? Concessioning will be as difficult to implement as subsidy but just like we removed subsidy now that we are pushed to the wall so shall this Rochas idea be in future.

I really don't buy this free education as presently implemented..give back those secondary schools and primary schools built by the voluntary organizations just before the way like the holy ghost and Emmanuel colleges..give them subventions for period of Tim to build back those schools ( since govts ran them down as usual) and then finally hands off to focus more on the remaining govt schools like govt colledge,owerri girls, akwakuma girls and implement the free education on these schools

Chiwude:
Many of the schools have been handed back to the Christian missions, except that IMSG allocate some monthly subvention to them to run these schools.

asha80:
ok but i do not think it was complete though with Emmanuel and holyghost colleges still looking like it is still run by govt.also I dont think primary schools hitherto missionary back then were handed back

meforyou1:
this Mr lie Mohd of Imo state. Do you have conscience at all?
There is no single free education in Imo state. I attended a wedding in Mbano in Dec 2015. Teachers union came because a relative of the celebrant was an Imo teacher.
While talking to one of the teachers I became friends with, I talked of okorocha and his free education. The lady shouted that I should shut up. That there is no free education in Imo state. And that Okorocha has not paid them for the last 11 months. I felt bad. Asked other teachers and they collaborated her story.
I dashed her 20k.
And all u propagandist can do is to come here and spread lies

Abagworo:


What amuses me is how you could come up with such unfounded story. I have several relatives studying free in Imo State institutions and my Aunt is a school Principal for that matter. Teachers always received their salary promptly and have very highly vordial relationship with Okorocha. Why do you think they refused to join the NLC protest?

Abagworo:


Between health and education which one is better to be concessioned? What you wrote up there is what the Government has been talking about with regards to health. Okorocha as a man seems to like education for the poor hence he wants it free and is trying his best to sustain it.

All those schools have been completely rebuilt by Okorocha anyway.

kutchs:

Well you aint the only one who has relatives studying in Imo State institutions. Many of us do too. My younger brother graduated from IMSU in 2014 while the other a cousin left Imo Poly in 2013. For the period ojorocha claimed to be giving free education I was paying for the two guys at school.

Funny enough, you have to pay #20,000 access fee before you are qualified to benefit from the scheme. What sort of free education are students forced to pay something before you are given something free?

Abagworo:


It is quite wrong for any human to openly lie in a verifiable issue. Kindly show Nairalanders your receipt of payment for tuition fees from 2012 to 2014 for those yoir brothers. 20, 000 whatever you paid cannot be school fees. It could be confirmation or registration. School fees cannot be less than 100k.

SirJeffry:
If that strike is all about doctors serving under govt hospitals, then Rochas is on the right course.

Those murafcckers never show up at their duty posts, they only care about their private hospitals and expect salary from govt.

They can't have their cake and eat it naa. Abeg Rochas should also seize their licenses too.
