By Chidi Nkwopara<\/strong><\/p>\n

OWERRI-Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has ordered immediate payment of arrears of salaries currently owed civil servants in the state.<\/p>\n

This came on a day the state\u2019s Accountant-General, Mr. Pauly Ajoko, and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Sir George Eche, at the House of Assembly, linked non-payment of salaries to civil servants in the state to alleged insolvency of the government.<\/p>\n

Chief Okorocha, who gave the order yesterday when he paid an unscheduled visit to the State Secretariat Complex, Port Harcourt Road, Owerri, also condemned lateness to work by some staff at the secretariat.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy administration will not condone lateness to work and laziness. Flimsy excuses like traffic congestion would no longer be tolerated,\u201d Okorocha said.<\/p>\n

Urging civil servants to sit up in the spirit of the rescue mission, Okorocha also ordered the Head of Service, Mr. Evans Uzokwe, to lock up the gate against late comers by 7.45am daily<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
