  1. It is a welcome development and it’s a good thing in the right direction, at least you will money to execute tangible project.

  2. I hope the remaining governor/government would try to emulate you on this because it is a good development. Instead of owing/slashing civil servant salary. This should be extended to our executives too.

  3. It is nice he is seeing it as very important to slash these people’s salaries
    Having thanked him for this, I don’t think this measure is still the solution to Abia state problems
    The monies allocated to Abia, for projects, how judiciously are they used. The officials of government still can not give adequate account of it. They still loot the funds leaving most of the government activities and projects unattended to
    So slashing their pay is just a scratch on the issue and also what most of us see as window dressing
