Abia State Governor,
Governor Ikpeazu who issued this deadline in an interview with journalists in Umuahia, the Abia state capital, wondered why many parastatals in the state are up to date with workers’ salary while others still have several months of outstanding arrears.
Regarding to pension arrears owed, the governor said the state government is very much concerned with the outstanding and have committed to use the bulk of the expected Paris Club Refund to settle as many months of their outstanding as possible.
On the new minimum wage demand by workers, Ikpeazu assured that the state is ready to pay whatever is agreed between NLC and government negotiating team.
