As a matter of policy, Abia Governor Okezi Ikpeazu has ordered the state to apply the no-work-no-pay rule.
State Government Secretary Chris Ezem issued a statement in Umuahia on Tuesday, expressing concern over the spate of constant strikes by some government agencies.
He pointed out that his actions were counterproductive and regressive.
Governments promise to pay all real workers their rights, and some politicians seek to intimidate and undermine the well-being of innocent citizens by politicizing workers’ well-being. He said he would resist any attempt to do so.
To that end, this notice is a call to all government agencies, law enforcement agencies, and the public to adhere to the above compliance policy.
