2 min read
Njaba born APC chieftain and a commentator on national issues, Hon Kingsley Odoemenem has sent his commendation and appreciation message to the governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma on the increment of the state civil service minimum wage from N30, 000 to N40, 000 monthly. In a recorded message the youthful politician sent to Umuaka Times last week, he expressed his heartfelt joy to the action of the governor towards the increment of the minimum wage and described it as a welcome development.
Odoemenem who strongly believes that the state workers deserve even more than N40,000 minimum wage, used the opportunity to also appeal to the state workers to embrace the increment with faith in God. “I sincerely commend the governor for all he has been doing in the state from various road construction projects to free health access to Imo civil servants. You can see now that our workers are happy.”
On a similar development, Hon Odoemenem used the opportunity and appealed to the governor to also extend the kind gesture he has been doing to Imo workers to other Imolites as they are all his children as far as the state is concerned.
On why he wants other Imolites represented adequately in the sharing of the “Imo cake”, Odoemenem bluntly disclosed that “workers are already working and having their monthly. There are many people who have no jobs and have nothing whatsoever to fall back on. Some of them are orphans, others are disabled and many jobless youths, I want the governor to also remember them in other ways.”
Asked to explain further on how he wants the governor to go about carrying other Imolites along, Hon Odoemenem specifically drew the attention of Umuaka Times to the free medical care in the state the government is implementing.”The free medical program of Imo workers should also reach those I have mentioned here. In fact there are many jobless and aged Imolites who need it more than the Imo civil servants. I am appealing to the governor to also extend the program to them.”
