Secretariat Complex to demand for their unpaid allowances.
A visit to the secretariat complex along Port Harcourt road Owerri
showed that the offices were locked as most of the youths demanding
for their money could not gain entrance while others managed to fight
for their money.
One of the aggrieved youth who spoke to newsmen revealed that the
state government have not been taking good care of them since they
were recruited.
According to the beneficiary, the state government has not paid them
for more than four months now.
Investigations revealed that Imo State government planned to pay the
youths completely before the end of the month.
Meanwhile Governor Rochas Okorocha is said to have directed the head
of service and Accountant General of the state to commence payment
without delay.
The governor has since promised to treat them better next year.
Further information from the government house disclosed that more
youths will be employed by next year.
But concerned citizens of Imo State have advised the governor to make
sure that he makes permanent, the employment of the youths in the
Youth Must Work programme.
