Imo Workers Demand 18 Months Salary Arrears

The workers of Imo
Palm Plantation formerly known as Adapalm oil company situated in Ohaji Egbema Local Government Council of Imo State have demanded the payment of their unpaid salaries from the  state government.
The Tide reliably learnt that the aggrieved workers stormed the Imo State Government House last Tuesday in their large numbers to demand  their alleged 18 months unpaid salaries.
The aggrieved workers were said to have been stopped at the entrance to the Government House by security operatives attached to the Government House.
The sources said the workers were aggrieved that since the Imo state government under Owelle Rochas Okorocha handed over Adapalm to private investors, Roche Group in 2013 their salaries have not been paid despite the huge profit being made by Roche.
