Abia Government Reinstates Non-indigene Workers

In fulfillment of his campaign promises, Dr.
Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, has recalled non
indigene staff of the state that were hitherto
disengaged from the services of the state on the
basis of their state of origin.
During the electioneering campaign, the state
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the
gubernatorial flag-bearer promised to recall non-
indigene that were disengaged from service by
the previous administrations of the state.
To prove that the promise was not an electoral
gimmick, Governor Ikpeazu has reinstated all the
non-indigenes at the state Secondary Education
Management Board (SEMB), totaling 102 staff
and they have all been paid their June salary.
In the same vein, out of the 295 non-indigene
staff formally in the employment of the Abia
State Universal Basic Education Board (ASUBEB),
63 have been cleared for reinstatement and are
set to receive their July salary while the rest will
also be reinstated immediately after being cleared
by the auditor-general of the local government.
These measures are in line with the governor’s
policy of making Abia a home for all and a
comfortable state where the hopes and aspiration
of all law abiding residents will be guaranteed.
