Sacking of non-indigenes by Abia govt unpatriotic ––Imo govt

Owelle Rochas OKorocha, Imo state Governor

THE Imo State government has described the sacking of non-indigenes by the Abia State government from its payroll as unpatriotic and callous.
The Imo State Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Jerry Okoli, made the statement while addressing newsmen at the end of a Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC) with chairmen of the 27 local government areas in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on Monday.
According to him, the action of the Abia State government for disengaging those civil servants from other states in Nigeria from their payroll was very embarrassing to the people of the South-East.
He said that Imo State government would not resort to sacking Abia State indigenes in the public service.
