Some govt workers falsify age till they’re above 70 years

Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has decried cases of age falsification within the local government system in the state.

The governor said the development had caused discrepancies in the payment of salaries and retirement benefits within the local government system. “This is what we are trying to discourage by making sure that pensioners duly receive their entitlements,” he said. Mr Nwifuru said he had directed the committee on gratuity payment to state civil servants to extend the deadline until all the gratuities were cleared.The chairperson of Nigeria Union of Pensioners in the state, Donatus Nwofe, thanked the governor for receiving them, noting that his policies showed that he meant well for the state.“You have given Ebonyi pensioners hope with this payment, as they can presently offset their medical bills, among other needs.
