Abia State Deputy Governor, Ikechukwu Emetu has expressed the State Government’s resolve to encourage private and public entrepreneurs to partner with the Government to revamp and revitalize the State’s economy and channel it on the part of progress.
Emetu who stated this when members of the Abia State Teachers For Stability paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Umuahia reassured that Abians will not be disappointed as Alex Otti’s Government is already living up to electoral promises of transforming every sector through the appointment of technocrats that will help the State out of the economic backwardness it is currently in.
He reiterated that Government will galvanize all machinery at its disposal to ensure that verified workers are paid promptly on the 28th of every month, while the arrears of over 17 years of leave allowances will be adequately addressed and enjoined Abians to be patient as they grapple to pay all outstanding salaries and wages owed them by the previous Government.
The Deputy Governor encouraged the teachers to continue to impact knowledge to Abia children as Government understanding their plight will work assiduously to address all the problems militating against the teaching profession in the State and commended them for their overwhelming support that led to the victory of the Governor Alex Otti and other members of the Labour Party.
