Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state has said all outstanding salaries and pensions owed workers in the state will be cleared before the end of July 2017.
This is contained in a press statement signed by the chief press secretary, Enyinnaya Appolos.
The statement said: "the Governor considers this as necessary recompense for the hard work and support of Abia workers who have continued to partner with his administration to ensure accelerated development of the state.
"It should be noted that while more than 80% of Abia workers are up to date with salaries, some revenue generating units and teachers have variable months of unpaid salaries alongside pensioners in the state.
"Governor Ikpeazu believes that with the expected payment of outstanding salaries he will be able to achieve his campaign promise of ensuring regular salary payments without impacting his development agenda anchored on the five pillars of education, agriculture, infrastructure, trade and commerce, as well as oil and gas."
