The new move is sequel to a crucial meeting heads of parasatals and ministries had with  the governor over  the poor state of finance of the state.<br \/>\nIt was gathered that part of the survival strategies to be adopted by the government agencies is reduction of  the  workforce. The plot is to surreptitiously ease out some employees through several fronts. All those with alleged disciplinary records, suspected illegal appointments and  age  discrepancies will be  used as  sacrificial victims  of  the worsening economic meltdown.<br \/>\nAlready, some government agencies  have  penciled down  targeted victims  for retrenchment and  possible sack  in  line with the spirit  of  the meeting with  the  governor.<br \/>\nIn the same vein, the state government is also working on modalities to scrap about five parasatals  in  the state workforce.<br \/>\nThough no official statement  has  been made on the matter but authoritative sources  who were part  of  the meeting noted that agencies like the state wing of the Consumer  Protection Council, CPC,  Imo Orientation Agency and  Imo water Corporation  will be  rested  to save  cost.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The economic misfortune befalling the country following drop in oil price at the global level<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","elegant-magazine-featured":"","elegant-magazine-medium":"","elegant-magazine-medium-small":"","elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":""},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14447"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14447\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14450,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14447\/revisions\/14450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
