Pensioners’ hardship worsens as states owe backlogs of gratuities

But the state Head of Service, Simon Malgwi, said the state pensioners were being paid, except those who had problem with verification.

According to him, the administration said it would be setting aside N100m every month for the payment of gratuities and pensions. Aroh said, “Your statistics are not correct, like everybody knows in the nation that the economy is not really good. We came into government since 2015. So if somebody is not being paid gratuities since 2010 it obviously means he had not been paid five years before we came into government.

The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress in the state lamented the alleged non-payment of 150 months contributory pensions of the workers in the state, running into N50bnNo fewer than 2,000 pensioners in Kwara State died while pursuing the payment of their 11 months pensions. The state chairman of the union, Mr Johnson Osunyemi, who stated this, said the leadership of the union had met with the state government on the matter but the latter promised to pay up as soon as the state finances improved.

“But as far as gratuities, initial pension arrears, deaths benefits and all that are concerned, they have not paid anything,” Nwankwo stated.

MAN INHUMANITY TO MAN IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE STATES DELAY OF PAYING GRATUITIES TO PENSIONERS BUT DELAY IS NOT DENIAL. PAY UP THE 11TH MONTH OF THE YEAR.

If u are young civil servant in Nigeria, u are on a suicide mission.

The report clearly said “states” even though some would still blame the wrong person for these. Nigerians, for your welfare and what you are owed irresponsibly by your state govts, why are y’all not rising against your governors and their demon/gods fathers?
