Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday has approved automatic promotion for all workers in the state.
The Governor gave this approval in the spirit of this year’s May Day celebration.
He also revealed that the promotion was not on a step basis but on the basis of the grade of the workers.
In his words:
”Workers are the life wire of every organisation. I salute your courage, your commitment and resilience during the trying times with numerous challenges ranging from insecurity, lack of infrastructure and low remuneration,” he said.
“You have remained partners in the success story of this administration. I am not unmindful of your needs. I am ready to pay you allowances, even sleeping and absenteeism allowances.”
On the minimum wage, the governor assured the workers that whatever the Federal Government had agreed to pay workers, “Imo government will not be found wanting.”
