The Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has told workers in the state that he will not increase their salaries anytime soon.
This was contained in his May Day address made available NE on Tuesday.
This was coming barely 24 hours after the leadership of the organised labour in the state had endorsed the governor for a second term for his commitment in workers’ welfare.
The workers also conferred on him “The Most Labour-friendly Governor” in the state since 1999.
The governor had in his address told the workers, “I won’t promise you what I cannot do.”
He reminded them that his administration had increased their salaries by 15 per cent in 2015.
His address read in part, “I wish to restate my earlier promise that I will increase your salaries once I see a significant growth in my Internally Generated Revenue; once we are able to push it to N2.3bn per month. Now we have an average IGR of about N1.4bn.
“So, all hands must be on deck to achieve this target and create new economic elbow room for ourselves and our families.
“I must commend you for coping with the harsh challenges caused by the current recession. I salute your resilience in the midst of a contracting economy.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
