Ihedioha berates Okorocha over sack of 3000 workers

 Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, has berated  Governor Rochas Okorocha, over the recent sack of over 3,000 workers as “most reckless, insensitive and completely lacking in economic sense”.
Speaking through his media aide, Mr. Chibuike Onyeukwu, the former Deputy Speaker said,“There is no doubt that the Nigerian economy is facing a downturn as a result of dwindling oil revenue but the solution is not arbitrary disengagement of workers and scrapping of key parastatals, such as the Hospital Management Board, Imo Water Corporation, Imo State Investment Promotion Agency, Imo State Library Board, Agricultural Development Programme and others.”

 Ihedioha said.Chief Ihedioha see it as a an unfulfilled electoral promise “having anchored his election campaign mantra on job, industry,  factory and employment, Imo people looked forward to more jobs, employment opportunities and improved working conditions instead of disengaging the already demoralized workers”.
He condemned Governor Okorocha’s lack of  innovation and constant resort to sack as a viable economic policy in turning around the lot of the State..
Chief Ihedioha stated. “Choosing to sack thousands of workers as the only viable option to tackling the state’s dwindled economic base is unfortunate, senseless, uncharitable and anachronistic”,
