Imo ITC workers hail Uzodimma over pay rise
Workers of the Imo State Transport Company, have heaved sigh of relief following the upward review of their monthly salaries.
The workers said they were astonished when their June salaries hit their respective bank accounts with reasonable increments to their salaries.
Investigation by our correspondent over the weekend showed that the increment was a general package to all duly employed staff of ITC.
Expressing their gratitude, some of the workers who spoke with newsmen, explained that, since their enrollments as Staff of the ITC, they had neither received a salary increase nor bagged any promotion.
These were made possible by the leadership of Chief UcheObiozor, who according to them changed the narratives for the wellbeing of the ITC workforce and the growth of the establishment.
They also eulogized the Governor for his exemplary and people oriented governance in the state, pointing out that if not for his vision, he wouldn’t have appointed Obiozor to ITC to sanitize the system.
Theworkers hinted that the increment would go at length in ameliorating the current hardship that had currently engulfed the citizenry.
Mrs. IjeomaEdeh, a staff in ticketing department, disclosed that when she came to ITC in 2012, she was paid only nine thousand naira (₦9,000) as a salary, until 2024 Obiozor was appointed GM, her salary rose to twenty-three thousand naira (₦23,000), and now in June 2025, it moved to fifty-one thousand naira (₦51,000).
“This report is for the general public my journalist you can interview others to know whether I am lying. We are happy with the latest development. May God bless Governor Uzodimma and Obiozor”, Edeh stated.
The Head of Courier/logistics department of ITC, Mr. AmarachukwuOdu confessed, “Since I was employed in ITC as a Staff, I have not experienced this type of salary increase because before now, I used to earn thirty thousand naira (₦30,000), but now, it is close to sixty thousand naira”.
He therefore prayed, “May God protect and guide the General Manager”.
Lending her voice, a supervisor in the operations department, Mrs. RoselineOnyeanuna enthused, “It is not a rumor, it is real. I earned forty-one thousand naira (₦41,000) before now, but with the increment, I now earn fifty-nine thousand naira (₦59,000). It is really a thing of joy for us at ITC”.
Another Staff, Mrs. Abiaziem Juliet was full of thanks as she went memory lane in recalling the poor welfare of staff. According to her, it was a new dawn in ITC and its workers under UcheObiozor’s watch.
