To this end, H/E Uzodinma has met with the heads of the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as appointees of the State Government in order to finalise on the issue of the salaries of some civil servants and pensioners in the State.
The governor assured that the meeting afforded them the opportunity to match the Government’s record of all paid workers/pensioners and unpaid workers/pensioners with the data from the MDAs.
In his words, “As a Government, we have done our bit to have a more meaningful and realistic payroll, as the purse of the Government was bleeding due to Ghost workers, manipulation of the payment schedules and fraudulent entries in payrolls”
Imo workers will surely smile again, he concludes.
