The strife between Abia Workers and Abia State government is
becoming a one day one bad news relationship. The bone of contention
remains the non-payment of salary with each ministry and parastatals
having different lengths of months of salary non-payment.
Abia Facts Newspaper just gathered that Abia line network Ltd, the
state owed transport company was picketed today by Abia State Labour
Congress under the instruction of its national body because of their
inability to pay salaries for 12months running.
The General Manager of Abia Line Mr Ugochukwu Uwaeke while
responding to reporters said that Abia State government led by Gov.
Okezie Ikpeazu has failed in giving them the agreed subvention for a
long period of time and this has affected their ability in meeting with
their obligation to the workers.
He further said that the state government gave choice sites to
private transport companies, while Abia Line was given a remote place
which in turn is affecting their patronage.
The state of Abia State workforce is really terrible and the state
government must look for ways to cushion the effect of salary
non-payment.
