Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, has granted the immediate notional approval and consequential payment of Consolidated Health Salary Scheme (CONHESS) for Local Government workers who are entitled to it with effect from January 2021.
The approval was consistent with the Governor’s passion for quality health services and workers’ motivation for health workers in the State.
A statement from the Governor’s Chief of Staff, Dr. A. C. B Agbazuere said Ikpeazu also gave approval of a total sum of Four Million Naira (N4,000,000) as running cost for the Executive Secretary, the Seventeen (17) Health Authority Secretaries and all others so entitled in the Local Government system.
According to the release, the Governor has also directed the Committee on the resolution of arrears of salaries owed by some government parastatals to expedite action and round off within the Two (2) weeks window given to them.
“It is also the position of government that workers will be paid by hand to checkmate debilitating and illicit sharp practices,” Agbazuere clarified.
He expressed the hope that health workers and others would reciprocate this goodwill of the Governor by putting in their best in the service of our State.
