THE IMPACT OF WAGES INCREMENT ON WORKERS PERFORMANCE IN ABIA STATE (A CASE OF UMUAHIA WATER BOARD CORPORATION)

CHAPTER ONE

• INTRODUCTION
• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In any establishment either private or public, the impact of wages increment cannot be over emphasized. To Abia State water board Corporation Umuahia, satisfaction of the public and standard of living has been their major concern.

The objective has been the development and utilization of local raw material (coal) and mobilization of fund for the purpose of satisfaction of Nigerians. In the bid to actualize this, the corporation finds it difficult and almost impossible to pay it’s workers the exact wages and pension at the appropriate time. This as a result leads to inefficiency since the workers are not motivated to carry out their function effectively. Facilities provided by the government are not being-used by the corporation in their operation. This as a result may lead to scarcity of some important goods.

The carriage of bulky goods by the trailer is now more preferable than the use of train, since the water board corporation is inefficient; goods that are supposed to be carried by trains are now being carried by vehicles, which thereby create obstruction in our roads. Presently, the corporation is not generating accurate revenue for the society, because the people who make use of the water board transportation are few.

This discussion so far, means that the water Board Corporation is unable to achieve its objectives.
