PRESS RELEASE

GOVERNOR UMO ENO AUTHORIZES THE COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENT OF 80 THOUSAND NAIRA MINIMUM WAGE THIS MONTH, EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 2024

Following the submission of the report by the Committee on the Implementation of the New Minimum Wage/Personnel Verification, headed by the Head of Service, Elder Effiong Essien, Governor Umo Eno, PhD, has authorized the commencement of the payment of the new minimum wage of 80 thousand Naira to 45 thousand duly verified public service workers, beginning at the end of this month but backdated to November last year, as he had promised.

Receiving the report at Government House, Uyo, Governor Eno thanked the Committee for the great work they did and requested the Committee to extend similar work to the retired workers Pension Schemes.

“Let me thank the Committee for taking the time to deliver on this assignment. As I receive this report today, my understanding is that before now, we had a staff strength of 55,120. Out of that, 52,177 persons turned out for the verification exercise, so we still have an outstanding of 2,943 personnel who did not show up while 6,193 have issues with their verification.

“Having received this report today, I will be signing this off to the Office of the Accountant General, Auditor General, and the Director of Budget to come up with the memo that they are ready to implement.

“For those who have been cleared—about 45,984 of them—we should be ready to pay the minimum wage at the end of this month, effective from November 1, 2024.

“The Civil Service forms a critical mass of employees in our state government. Since we came on board, their welfare has remained a key priority, and we will continue to do so. I believe this will help ameliorate the harsh economic environment we have found ourselves in, and I hope, by the grace of God, slowly, we will find our way out of it very soon.

“For the people who are yet to be verified, we will give another 30 days. After that, we will end the exercise. If they don’t show up within the time specified, we will take it that they are not civil servants, and their salaries will be stopped.

“We want to extend our hand of fellowship to the organized labour in the state and ask them to work with the government, as we all have a responsibility to Akwa Ibom State. We have done a lot to engender good government-labour relations. Since we came on board, we have paid over 47 billion in gratuities from the over 97 billion backlog we met since 2012, as well as several palliatives to the workers and people of Akwa Ibom State.”

The Governor said he has accepted the recommendation of the Committee that the verification exercise should be done on a yearly basis. “I have received your recommendation that this exercise should be done on a yearly basis, and I think we will do so.

“Another area we will run verification is the pension payments. If what we uncovered can happen with serving personnel, then you can imagine what may be happening where people have unfortunately passed and are still being paid. We need to quickly carry out the verification exercise in that area too. So I am not dissolving the Committee now; we will extend the life of the Committee for another month.”

The Implementation Committee on the Minimum Wage was set up by Governor Eno last December to ensure a smooth rollout of the newly announced 80 thousand minimum wage. It had as Chairman, the Head of Service; Chairman, Civil Service Commission; Chairman, Local Government Service Commission; Permanent Secretaries; Ministries of Finance; Department of Establishments, Labour, and Manpower Planning; Solicitor General/Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice; Permanent Secretary and Accountant General; Permanent Secretary, Local Government Service Commission; Permanent Secretary, Office of the Head of Service; Director of Budget; State Chairman, Joint Public Service Negotiating Council; Secretary, Joint Public Sector Negotiating Council; State Chairmen, Nigerian Labour Congress; and State President, Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE).

AKHA CALLS STSB TO RESTORE MR. UMANAH'S 32 MONTHS’ SALARY

By Williams Akpabio

The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly Committee on Education headed by Hon. Kenim Onofiok member representing Oron/Udung Uko State Constituency on Monday reconvened interface with the State School (STSB) led by its permanent Secretary Dr. (Mrs.) Atim C. Okoko to investigate on a petition raised by Mr. Nsikan Sunday Umanah requesting for payment of his 32 months’ Salary.

After a careful scrutiny and record checks about the unlawful withdrawal of salary and suspension of the applicant, the Committee recommended that Senior Staff Management Committee (SSMB) of State Technical School Board should reinstate and re-progress Mr. Nsikan Sunday Umanah to his due designation in service with effect from 2013 when he submitted his University degree (B.Ed) to the Commission and his three years withheld salary be restored.

Similarly, the committee also directed the management of the STSB to report the decision reached at SSMB of the commission on this matter back to the Committee in a fortnight.

Speaking through the Permanent Secretary, Dr. (Mrs.) Atim C.Okoko, the Management of State Technical School Board, earlier argued that Mr. Nsikak Sunday Umana had cases of irregularities in conversation and promotion without approval from the Head of Civil Service as represented in his file hence his suspension and stoppage of salary pending when the irregularities are addressed.

Okoko further added that all effort demanding Mr. Umana to submit relevant documents not seen in his office file as contested regarding his promotions and progression to ease rescind the order on sympathy grounds was fruitless hence the delay of revoking the suspension order.

Recall that the Speaker Rt. Hon. Udeme J Otong at the plenary of Wednesday, 11th September, 2024 referred a "Petition on 30 months of Non-payment of Salary: A Cry for Compassionate Attention" to Education Committee for in-depth investigation.

Upholding her commitment to dig deep without bias or empathy, Hon. Onofiok in reiterating to ascertain the truth commenced investigations on Tuesday 14th January, 2025, and discovered issues of irregularities on promotions by the former Head of Administration Mr. Billy Ibok whose disciplinary actions was meted on him by the Commission through queries and subsequently demoted for promoting Mr. Umanah without passing through due process.

However, in his defense, Mr. Billy Ibok the then Director of Administration who was in charge of Promotions avowed that Mr. Nsikan Sunday Umana was denied due promotions for many years and having accessed all his files, credentials and documents and confirmed that he has passed through due process of obtaining those additional qualifications as stated in the Civil Service Rules then considered promoting him on compassionate grounds.

To this end, the Commission has assured the Committee of its compliance with the resolve and to report back as proposed.

The meeting had in attendance, Hon. (Dr.) Itorobong Etim, member representing Uruan State Constituency, Hon Jerry Otu (Ikot Ekpene/Obot Akara), Hon. Nsidibe Akata, PhD (Eket) and Hon. Lawrence Udoide JP representing Ini.

Others include Ag. Director of Administration - Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Mrs. Yingy Edunam, Principal Govt. Technical College, Abak - Mrs. Mary Isaiah, Director School Services - Mrs. Udoete, Committee Clerk - Pastor Etim Okon and Parliamentary Counsel Victor Idiong Esq. among others.

▪️Commends his philanthropic efforts toward his people

The Ibedu Council of Chiefs has praised Obong-Uforo Inyang Udoinyang, a renowned business mogul and philanthropist, for his selfless contributions to his community.

The commendations came when he paid a thank-you visit to the Ibedu Council of Chiefs on January 17, 2025.

Speaking at the Asan Ibedu, Obong Udoinyang said he was at the Council to pay homage to the traditional rulers and also to appreciate them for finding him fit to be conferred with the prestigious traditional title of Obong-Uforo 1 of the Ibedu kingdom and his wife, Obongawan Ofonime Udoinyang as the Eka Uforo Ibedu on December 30, 2023.

According to him, " Today, I came here with humility to pay homage to this Council and our revered Chiefs and as well appreciate you for the honour bestowed on me as Obong Uforo Ibedu and my wife, Eka Uforo Ibedu on December 30, 2023. I do not take this title for granted as it has bolstered my confidence in advancing the progress and development of the youths of Ibedu and Nsit Atai at large. I will continue to be a good ambassador of Ibedu Kingdom even as I pledge my loyalty to this Council in the discharge of my responsibilities as the Obong Uforo 1 of Ibedu," Obong Uforo Udoinyang concluded.

He noted that Obong Uforo Udoinyang is a worthy son of Ibedu, and the Council has no regret in conferring him with the title. He pointed out that amongst all that were given titles that day, Obong Uforo Udoinyang is the only person who has returned to pay a visit to the Council.

" On behalf of this Council, I want to commend you for coming to visit us. You are truly a worthy son who loves his people. While we appreciate your gift, the most important thing is the love and respect you have accorded us by paying homage to this Council. We have heard and seen your philanthropic gestures, and we urge you to keep doing your best for your people. Be rest assured that as the Obong Uforo of Ibedu, this Council is solidly behind you."

Edidem Okono used the occasion to charge other title holders to emulate Obong Uforo Udoinyang's exemplary leadership and community service.

The occasion concluded with prayers for Obong Uforo Udoinyang's continued success and well-being.

Jaws drop as JAMB spends N1.85bn on refreshments and k+lling mosquitoes

The National Assembly Joint Committee on Finance on Monday raised concerns over the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s (JAMB) expenditure on meals, refreshments, and fumigation in 2024, describing the spending as “excessive.”

The committee, which expressed displeasure with JAMB’s financial practices, hinted at a possible removal of federal government funding in the board’s 2025 budget.

The query came during a budget defense session, where JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, presented the board’s proposed 2025 budget. Oloyede disclosed that while JAMB remitted N4 billion to the Consolidated Revenue Fund in 2024, it also received a grant of N6 billion from the federal government.

However, Senator Adams Oshiomhole (APC, Edo North) questioned the rationale behind JAMB’s expenditures, particularly the N850 million reportedly spent on security, cleaning, and fumigation.

“You spent N1.1 billion on meals and refreshments. Is the government feeding you for free? This money is coming from poor students, many of whom are orphans. What exactly did you fumigate for N850 million? Did mosquitoes cost you that much?” Oshiomhole asked.

He further criticized JAMB for allocating N600 million to local travels in 2024, questioning whether such spending was justifiable.

Similarly, Abiodun Faleke, Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, expressed concerns over JAMB’s dependence on federal allocations despite being a revenue-generating agency.

Faleke remarked, “You remitted N4 billion and received N6 billion from the government. Why not keep your N4 billion, and we stop giving JAMB any federal allocation?”

The lawmakers called for a review of JAMB’s financial practices and urged the board to operate more independently and responsibly.

The grading and maintenance of rural roads in Nsit Atai LGA, spearheaded by the Executive Chairman, Hon Prince Anthony Nyong, is progressing steadily.

The Council Boss has completed the grading of rural roads in Eastern Nsit Ward 4 and Eastern Nsit Ward 5. Given the progress made, road users in these rural areas can expect easy access to the roads throughout 2025.

As of today, 13th January 2025, the team has commenced work on Eastern Nsit Ward 6, where all rural roads will be graded to ensure passability. The grading began in Ndon Ekpe Village, with Hon Veronica Ube, Councillor representing Eastern Nsit Ward 6, welcoming the team.

She expressed her gratitude to the Council Chairman for initiating the road grading project, which will enhance connectivity and foster economic growth within the area.

Hon Ube pledged her full support to the Chairman to continue delivering democratic dividends to the rural populace.

Hon Friday Akpan, Honourable Council Representing Eastern Nsit Ward 9 and Chairman House Committee on Works, remarked that his oversight duties necessitated his presence in Ward 6, where he ensured that grading projects were implemented correctly. He lauded Hon Nyong's proactive measures and reaffirmed the legislature's dedication to working closely with the Executive, thereby enhancing the quality of life for rural residents.

The Village Head of Ndon Ekpe, Chief Bassey Edet Okon, radiating joy, disclosed that the village had never experienced road grading before. He indicated that the village had consistently adopted manual methods for clearing and weeding their roads. The Village Head extended his gratitude to Hon Nyong for addressing their concerns. He affirmed that the entire village would stand in support of Prince Anthony Nyong, ensuring he succeeds.

In light of the current rural road grading and maintenance in Nsit Atai LGA, road users in these rural areas will have no regrets about having Hon. Prince Anthony Nyong as the Executive Chairman of Nsit Atai Local Government Area.
