On workers’ salaries being owed in his state since February, Okorocha said he was very comfortable with the 70:30 ratio agreement with labour, adding, if workers refused their salaries, he would use it to carry out projects.

He also noted, that: “Pension and internally generated revenue, IGR, are serious problems for me. Only recently, I ordered all the Board of Internal Revenue officers to go on leave, but they have written to say it was unconstitutional to ask all officers to go on leave.”
