Five Working Days Might Later Turns Three Working Days For Imo State Workers

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that he is considering reducing the number of work days in the state from five to three, to enable the government cut salaries.
He said the reduction of workdays would enable workers to attend to other activities that would generate money to supplement their monthly salaries to take care of their families.
He said that in spite of the current payment of 70 percent of salaries to workers, the state still paid the highest salary scale among South-Eastern states of Abia, Anabmbra, Ebonyi and Enugu.
“Directors in these other South-Eastern states receive something a little above N90, 000 while in Imo they receive more than N100, 000.
“We intend to clear salary arrears up to July by next week. After that, we will consider downward review of salary to workers to be at par with other states of South-East,’’ he said.
