Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP), Kebbi state chapter, yesterday, began a three-day prayer session to seek divine intervention for state government to pay their backlog of pensions and gratuities.
The prayer which was kick-started at the early hours of yesterday led by Adamu Abdullahi Argungu at the Eid-pray ground, Birnin Kebbi, had in attendance over 2, 000 thousand affected pensioners in the state.
In a communiqué issued by the union signed by the Chairman, Alhaji Usman Dangwari, indicated that the members had outrightly rejected the 40 per cent payment of their gratuity which they alleged that the federal government bailout of N11 billion could cover 100 per cent of their entitlements.
It added that the members should remain calm and to attend the three days prayer session to seek for divine redress.
