Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has extended the One Grade Level Command Promotion granted to workers in Abia State Local Government System to Civil Servants in the State.
The Governor equally directed that the contentious Annual Leave Allowances for the workers of the State civil service be paid within the next seven days.

According to the Governor, the March 18th election is as important as the lives of the people of Abia hence it should be taken very seriously.
He said that if any worker votes the wrong person, he will have gambled with his job and the future of his family.
The Governor who appreciated the great support received from the workers since 2015 attributed such achievements and recognitions as receiving awards for Ease of Doing Business, SME capital of the Nigeria among others to the efforts of the civil servants.
Speaking also, the PDP Governorship Candidate, Chief Okey Ahiwe assured that the Command Promotion pronounced by the Governor would be fully sustained while other welfare packages would be taken care of adequately when he assumes office as Governor.
