Ibas, who announced this on Friday in Port Harcourt during a meeting with Heads of Local Government Administration (HLGAs), assured that necessary steps will be taken to ensure the prompt payment of workers’ salaries.

The former Chief of Naval Staff described the gathering as a pivotal moment in the collective effort to restore stability and progress in the state.

He lamented the economic hardship in the Niger Delta region, noting that despite the region’s wealth of natural resources, its people continue to suffer.

Ibas expressed concern over the delay in salary payments across local government areas, acknowledging the struggles of affected workers.

The administrator assured the HLGAs that the withheld allocations had been released and that his administration would ensure that salaries were paid without delay.

While warning that financial accountability would be strictly enforced, the former Naval chief directed all local government areas to submit their wage bills, supported by relevant documentation, through the office of the Head of Service.

He said his administration will not tolerate financial recklessness, vowing to scrutinize the handling of public funds and take action against any mismanagement.

Ibas said good governance is not just a slogan, but a commitment to changing the negative narrative within the next six months.

He further stressed the importance of collaboration with traditional rulers and security agencies to enhance security at the grassroots level.

Responding, the President of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) and administrator of Port Harcourt Local Government Area, Clifford Paul, acknowledged the developmental strides made in the state despite political conflicts.

Paul commended the Federal Government for appointing the Sole Administrator, attributing the decision to his competence and leadership ability.

He pledged to support peace and stability while urging the administrator to prioritise workers’ welfare.

He explained that local government workers are currently owed two months’ salaries, but are hopeful now that the withheld allocations have been released.

He encouraged stakeholders to seize this opportunity to rebuild trust and foster unity in the state.
