Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has
 set October 2015 as the deadline for the payment of all salaries and 
pension arrears of workers and pensioners in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has also directed the setting up of a 
seven-man committee to manage the disbursement of the N14.152bn Federal 
Government bailout fund for the payment of salary and pension arrears in
 the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A statement by the Senior Special Adviser
 to the Governor on Public Communications, Mr. Sam Hart, said the 
Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Eme Okoro, had been mandated to 
inaugurate the committee on Monday (today).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
 committee, according to the statement, is to be made up of the 
representatives of the Head of Service of Abia State, Chairman of 
Nigeria Labour Congress, Abia State Council; and Chairman, Trade Union 
Congress, Abia State Council.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Others are the state’s auditor general or
 his nominee; accountant general or his representative; the statistician
 general and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Economic Affairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement said, “The governor has 
given a commitment that by Friday, October 30, 2015, all outstanding 
arrears would have been offset. This is, therefore, a call to all 
concerned to support the governor in this noble quest to rid the system 
of all unscrupulous elements who collude to defraud the system.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the statement, the committee
 is to determine the following: the exact amount owed public servants in
 the state, the actual duration of backlogs owed workers in the state as
 well as determine any other issue pertaining to owed salary arrears in 
the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The committee is also to ensure strict adherence to the purpose of the bailout and avoid diversion.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement, however, said that the 
bailout fund had yet to be accessed but assured it would likely be 
accessed during the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It said, “It is pertinent to point out 
that the bailout fund has yet to arrive the state. Information available
 is that the money has been released to the designated Abia State 
account but it is undergoing normal internal banking processes before it
 is credited as cash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Ikpeazu administration is committed 
to using the bailout fund for the purpose of payment of salary backlogs.
 But only genuine salary backlogs owed Abia State workers will be paid 
at the end of the exercise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The bailout fund is not free money. It 
is actually a loan with a 20-year repayment period at low interest rate 
so the governor has a responsibility to ensure its judicious utilisation
 for the benefit of the people of Abia State.”</div>
