In a bold move aimed at addressing the issue of outstanding salaries and pensions in Ebonyi State, Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has issued a strict directive to the Chairmen of the 13 Local Government Areas.

During the Elders and Widow’s Party organized by the State Government, held at the Christian Ecumenical Centre in Abakaliki, the Governor did not mince words in expressing his disappointment at the delay in payment of workers’ salary and pensions in the thirteen local government Area.

Governor Nwifuru emphasized his commitment to good governance under the people’s Charters of Needs Agenda and made it clear that any form of sabotage in the implementation of their social contract with the people would not be tolerated.

He set a strict deadline, stating, “By 2PM tomorrow, all the staff of the Local Government should receive their salaries and pensions.”

The Governor’s ultimatum was stern, warning that failure to pay October, November and December salaries by the specified time would result in the resignation of the Chairmen.

This directive has put immense pressure on the local government authorities to meet the deadline and ensure that their employees are duly compensated.

Furthermore, Governor Nwifuru’s gesture of providing financial assistance and essential items to 5000 widows and elders at the event has been well-received by the beneficiaries. It portrays a compassionate side of the Governor amidst the tough stance on governance issues.

As the clock ticks towards the deadline set by Governor Nwifuru, all eyes are on the Local Government Chairmen to see if they can meet the requirements and avert potential resignations. The ultimatum has sparked a sense of urgency and accountability in ensuring that the welfare of workers in Ebonyi State is prioritized.
