Worries Mount Over Low Salaries for Imo Workers
Labor Day Wage Disparity: Imo Workers Report Lowest Earnings in Nigeria - PDP Criticizes Uzodimma's Administration
In a candid call-out, the Imo State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the state government of neglecting its workforce, with civil servants allegedly earning the lowest salaries in Nigeria.
In a fiery statement issued by its State Publicity Secretary, Lancelot Obiaku, the PDP pointed fingers at the Hope Uzodinma-led administration for deceiving civil servants through what it termed a "deceptive manipulation" of the national minimum wage.
The PDP urged the State Government to restore dignity to the civil service and boost its appeal by addressing the treatment of workers more favorably. The statement criticized the government's pattern of negligence and poor treatment towards employees.
"The State is short of workforce, and there's no urgency on the side of the government to rejig it. But what is also important to note is that young people in the State appear not interested anymore in joining the civil service," the statement read.
The party further expressed concerns over the low salaries offered to Imo workers, stating that it adversely affects the recruiting ability of the state's civil service.
"People wouldn't want to be associated with an employee who shortchanges his workers by denying them their promotion benefits and who refuses to actually implement the minimum wage," the statement stressed.
The statement also highlighted the diminished pride of the civil service in Imo State, with workers struggling to meet their daily economic needs while the State government continues a pattern of negligence and poor treatment.
Comparing salaries across different states requires considering factors like the implementation of the minimum wage, wage disparities, and government policies affecting workers' earnings. Imo State, while making progress in payroll systems and salary payments, still faces similar economic challenges as other Nigerian states, such as inflation and wage disparities.
The statement further pointed out the irony that workers who are at lower levels do not constitute up to 10 percent of the workforce, yet they receive pay commensurate with their position.
"The government payrolled workers from Government House. The labour union and various ministries had no input. No one has seen the salary table with which the government is paying salaries. It's a fraudulent scheme," the statement emphasized.
Underscoring the urgency of the matter, the PDP expressed its commitment to advocating for improved working conditions for civil servants in Imo State.
