Hundreds of workers from South East States namely Ebonyi, Abia,,
Enugu, Anambra are now converging in
Owerri to show solidarity to thousands Imo workers who have been having a
running battle with Imo State government over unpaid wages and salaries.
Also, labour leaders from the south East states including
the national president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC Waheeb Ayuba are
expected to attend the grand rally taking place now at Owerri- Port Harcourt
Road, Owerri.
The NLC national president is expected to address the
workers.
One of the workers who spoke to INNONEWS.COM on phone said
the event will be a massive solidarity rally to express their displeasure over
unfair treatment of workers in Imo State.
This newspaper had exclusively reported that workers in Imo
State were issued pay off forms in December 2014 before collecting their salary
arrears, a claim the State government has denied.
On Monday, we also ran another exclusive story (READ: Downsizing
of Imo Workforce Imminent?) which exposed plans by the Okorocha administration to
retrench some workers in the Imo State civil service.
More Details of the Grand Rally Coming….
