Imo Workers Defy Okorocha's Directive


Workers in 19 parastatal agencies and departments in Imo reported for duties, defying the directive by the state government that they should handover and stop work.


Governor Rochas Okorocha had, in a statement on Sunday, announced the sack of staffers of the organisations.
When NAN correspondent visited offices of some of the organisations in Owerri on Tuesday, some of the workers were seen at their duty posts attending to visitors, while some were discussing the development in groups.


The offices visited were Imo Water Corporation near Standard, Sports Council, Owerri, and Imo State Environmental Transformation Commission. Others were Imo Marketing Company located at Old Secretariat, Orlu Road Owerri, and Agricultural Development Programme (ADP), near NOA Office on Okigwe Road.


Some of the workers told NAN that they had yet to be served with any disengagement letters.
