The Imo State Government has begged the state and national leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, to reverse their plan to shutdown the state over the ‘illegal’ sack of over 3,000 civil servants in the state.
NLC had in a statement threatened to shutdown the state if Governor Rochas Okorocha failed to recall the over 3,000 workers in the 19 parastatals, agencies and departments.
According to a press statement signed on behalf of the Governor by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, government begged labour not to embark on any strike that would not benefit anyone.
“The national leadership of the NLC should be patriotic enough to advise the leadership of the NLC in the state to honour their invitations to participate in the high-powered 18 – member committee set up by the state governor to review the cases of the staff affected by the suspension in question, so that the matter can be resolved amicably in the spirit of no victor, no vanquished”, Okorocha pleaded.
The statement recalled that the inauguration of the committee could not take place last Tuesday, because the Labour Representatives did not come for the exercise.
Okorocha equally recalled that the Committee has the state NLC Chairman, the Trade Union Congress, TUC Chairman, the State Chairman of Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, and the Chairman of National Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, as members.
Others chosen from labour unions are the Representative of Magistrates Association of Nigeria, Representative of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Imo State University, IMSU, Imo Polytechnic, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Chairman of Imo State branch of Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, and representative of the Judiciary Service Union of Nigeria, JUSUN.

He should do something about the Situation..sacking 3,000 people is waaaaay too much abeg!
It is painful but the truth need to be told. These civil servants dont do much work. They come late and leave early. They talk anyhow and laugh anyhow in their offices.
ReplyDeleteIf that was the basis of their sack then no one in the civil service shoukd be spared because they are all guilty of these. The commission needs to be reformed ASAP.
DeleteThings are really getting out of hands.
Delete3000. Jobless people.
Don't be rude please.
DeleteShut up, bitch. So it's okay to render people jobless? Did they gibe the civil servants things to do? Why aren't other governors doing the same? Why is imo always different? Isn't the state getting allocations? What happens to the money that would have been used to pay those people? Build another 600 million Xmas tree while hunger is killing the masses? Those sacked people have kids in school and a family to feed. Shut your trap if u have nothing good to say
Delete*chews weed*
People will be chopping billions yet looking for how to deprive ppl of the 70K they receive monthly. That's wicked
DeleteWhy is he begging?
ReplyDeleteThey should use this man and set example to other governors abeg. Labour dony back down, your members were treated unjustly.
ReplyDeletesacking over 3,000 workers is too much biko
ReplyDeleteApart from these 3000, he has sacked many others o. Some establishments which are functioning in others states have been closed by rochas, eg Fadama. He is owing people pension and salaries. Why is it only in imo that all these are happening?
DeleteHaha hahaha @Love me jeje. Ur comment is so funny

It feels like the state is governed by a 419ner. Hope Buhari is aware? Let him call him to order!
DeleteHe is the biggest fraud in Nigerian politics. Imo state is his ATM machine at the moment hence the sacking which was probably done to appropriate the salaries who would have paid to himself. I really feel sorry for Imo people.
ReplyDeleteAnybody who collects bribe from Rochas so that he won't reinstate all the people that he has sacked is curses for life. That money will bring the person and his family extreme badluck.They will be rich but have no peace. Amen
Delete*fuck weed*
My governor, My governor looool
ReplyDeleteEnd time Beggy-Beggy
ReplyDeleteHe's looking for who to bribe na. Bribe dem now and nlc will keep quiet.
ReplyDeleteAfter promising Us, Heaven On Earth, politicians

ReplyDeleteThis man is one hell of a shame.. And to think that i used to like him and wanted him to win at some point. Look at his governorship credentials, it says it all.. Keep begging unil ur time runs out, wicked man..
ReplyDeleteRochas is a greedy and cunny man
ReplyDeleteRochas, deceiving Nigerians since 1857.
ReplyDeleteImo state should be shut down. Okorocha is just wicked. Sacking those people doesn't mean that his own persons won't be employed, what was there offence again?
ReplyDelete*Their*
DeleteDefault smile it is the truth. I have gone to visit especially at that Ijora causeway. NEPA people
ReplyDeleteUseless people, after they will say they are fighting corruption, when they are pushing people stealing. How can they sack 3000 workers, what and how will they survive?
ReplyDeleteInto
ReplyDeleteAbi o. I'm glad people now know the kind of person he is. Imagine making him a president
DeleteOkorocha is just a big fraud.
ReplyDeleteHow may people will have a job if he sack 3k workers. That's like rendering the state useless
ReplyDeleteNot just this o,he slashed 30% off their salaries. Very heartless man
ReplyDeleteNo b small thing, Imo state is filled with white elephant projects, gigantic buildings with plenty bushes, when will they be completed?
ReplyDeleteOr possibly, its an example of the more you look the less you see. Oga, i used to believe in you
Blame Yoruba people for this as well. It is their fault.
ReplyDeleteAre you in Imo to know that they talked and laughed anyhow? Okacha amaraa umuagwo.
ReplyDeleteORO has finished IMO with fake publicity, I wonder where Nkeiru Sylvanus is now?
Rochas pay them at least the local government funds is all yours since you refused to conduct election since you came into office. Iga asa ajuju a one day.
It's really painful. Making people suffer when he is getting richer. Why will a billionaire be making the less previledged jobless? What will he be doing with their salaries? Embezzlement again okwaya? God is on the throne. And his family are living large at the imo ppl's expense
