Okorocha Recalls Sacked Civil Servants

By Correspondent

The Imo State chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), alongside other unions, yesterday stormed the Government House despite the heavy presence of security men. The Governor, Rochas Okorocha, addressed them. The governor said the ”˜suspension’ of parastatals workers was for the overall interest of the state. He noted that his government which started in 2011 never owed workers, adding that it was only in Imo State that N20, 000 minimum wage was paid to workers. It would be recalled that the Imo State chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and other unions on Wednesday started a three-day warning strike to protest against the concession of 19 parastatals by the Governor Rochas Okorocha-led administration. The state Chairman of the NLC, Austin Chilakpu, had said the protesting workers would commence an indefinite strike if the government failed to meet their demand to rescind the controversial concession policy and recall the sacked workers. The workers wore black clothes and chanted solidarity songs, while displaying placards bearing inscriptions, some of which read, “Okorocha, you are wicked,” “Rochas revert your policies, it is anti-workers” and “We cannot fear your antics again,” among others.
