Abia State Governor Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has finally spoken out concerning the debt salary profile his government inherited from the government of Sen. T. A Orji.
It should be recalled that the government of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu handed over to Sen. T. A Orji without any single salary back log, but the massive salary back log was the product of Ochendo even though we had increase in our federal allocation and also excess crude wind fall.
Dr.Okezie Ikpeazu who has been quiet over the huge debts the past administration left behind finally broke his silence yesterday by saying that his Government needs N6billion to enable him pay Abia civil servants.
Ikpeazu made this known while briefing journalist in Umuahia,through his Senior Special Assistant On Media Mr.Ugochukwu N Emezue,Emezue confirmed to journalist that Abia state Government has received N3billion bail out funds from the Federal Government,but what the state needed was N6Billion due to the huge debts left by the former Administration.
He also said that the verification exercise going on across the Local Government is to enable the Government of Ikpeazu fish out ghost workers from the Abia State civil service.
Okezie Ikpeazu took over from Theodore Orji as Governor of Abia State on May 29th 2015,but civil servants in Abia state are yet to be paid over 6 Monsths salaries
