Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano has promised to increase workers salaries, beyond the recently approved minimum wage<\/a> of N30,000 per month.<\/p>\n

The Governor who spoke to workers at the state secretariat, during the events marking this year\u2019s civil service day said he would only increase workers\u2019 salaries if they help in increasing the Internally Generated Revenue of the state to N3billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2016 I increased your salary by 16 per cent without prompting, am I correct? Obiano asked the workers.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWhat is important is that I did it without prompting and I encourage you to work hard to increase our IGR. If you increase my IGR to N3billion, I will increase your salaries again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had already promised to pay your minimum wage, but beyond the minimum wage, if you increase my IGR to N3billion, I will increase your salaries again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you people to support our IGR drive. Report those stealing our money. If you do it, we will compensate you with higher salaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obiano told the workers that he had delivered on all his promises to them, and that it was their duty to help his administration. He added that part of the promise which was to create a conducive environment had also been met.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the things I promised you are almost done, without exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cI promised you a clean environment and you now have a home in your working place, just like your own home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have paid some visits to some places and I am usually very unhappy about meeting dirty environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaying salaries promptly and other things we do in the state are done with money, so you must support us. Not when we do all these, some people will not come to work. If we find people who do not come to work, we will sack them without ceremonies.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must remember the era of recession when about 30 states could not pay salaries, but you received your own every month. It is because of the love I have for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou people have all received your Christmas rice, I hope. Let us help each other. Do not steal government funds because it is from there that we do the things you all see today,\u201d Obiano begged workers.<\/p>\n

Five members of the state civil service were bestowed award of exemplary service, with a certificate and an undisclosed cash gift. The governor said the gesture was to encourage hard work in the state civil service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
