Oyo pays N180m gratuity to 2013 retirees

Governor Seyi Makinde, while conducting a symbolic presentation of cheques to some of the retired civil servants at the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, vowed to ensure that retirees get their dues from the state government.He added that ordinarily, the payment of gratuity to retirees should come immediately after retirement, noting that he was honoured to present the symbolic cheques to beneficiaries who finished the processing of their retirement papers in 2013.

Makinde stated that despite the meagre resources available to the state, his administration would continue to bring relief to the entire state workforce. He said, “In total, 82 of these retirees will be paid their full retirement benefits. Seven years is a long time for anyone who could not work to wait to get paid their benefits. Such payment should ideally come immediately upon retirement and it is, indeed, disheartening that the previous administration did not do what was supposed to be done when it should be done.

“This administration remains committed to finishing whatever things the previous administrations have left undone, and these include payments of this nature.” The governor said the state had a backlog of N26bn in unpaid gratuities for 6,274 pensioners in the state, adding that his administration had been making efforts to offset the debt despite the limited resources.All rights reserved.

God bless you richly SeyiGold

2013 retirees receiving their benefits now, what did the other regimes did about it? Kai very pathetic, well-done Makinde for remembering them

Seven years is a long time for anyone who could not work to wait to get paid their benefits. In a saner clime this shouldn't be news but in Nigeria this could pass a presidential move I am not discrediting Makinde But imagine what this individuals have gone through

I don't know what to expect from Seyi Makinde anymore, man is always in the news for good things

May God bless this Governor

Weldone Makinde, Oyo leadership on track. God's strenght to the good people.
