Imo State labour leaders have again expressed the satisfaction of state workers and retirees over the rehabilitation of the state civil service by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
At a meeting with the Governor, the labour leaders endorsed Uzodimma’s second term bid as they showered encomium on him for his “excellent performance and governance of the state”.
The union leaders recounted how the Governor created a cordial relationship between the state government, the workers, and pensioners, the consistent payment of salaries; payment of pensions; free mass transit for workers; renovation of the state secretariat, a new clinic and health insurance for the workers and the approval and implementation of promotion for workers without any recourse to the downing of tools.
They unanimously assured the Governor of their unalloyed support to his Government and his second-term bid.
In his response, Uzodimma commended the patriotism of the labour leaders in the state for standing on the side of justice and protecting the interest of workers.
He promised them of the payment of gratuity despite the turbulent situation in Imo state which ranged from the COVID-19 pandemic to the politically contrived insecurity in the state which doubled the cost of running the state affairs.
