Edo Pensioners Protest Non-payment Of Pension Arrears by AllTheWayUp: 2:34pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
Hundreds of pensioners in Benin, the Edo State capital, on Monday protested the non-payment of their pension arrears. The arrears range between 10 and 42 months. The pensioners, armed with placards of various inscriptions, took their protests to the Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Benin. A spokesman of the pensioners, Gabriel Osemwenkhai, told newsmen that the pensioners in the state had been experiencing hard times over the non-payment of their pension and gratuity by the government. He said that some pensioners had died as a result of hardship. Osemwenkhai said pensioners involved comprised public servants who retired in 2011 and were owed by the state government. The spokesman alleged that the state government refused to commence payment of the pension with effect from the date of retirement as stipulated in the Civil Service Pension Law. He said that the Edo government’s refusal to adhere to pension laws had led to a backlog of arrears owed to its pensioners. Osemwenkhai said that their problem was further compounded by the dissolution of the State Pension Board. “At the moment, public servants retiring after the dissolution of the Pension Board are again stranded due to government’s delay in processing their retirement papers; more than six months after their names have been removed from the payroll. “Rather than creating avenue for retirees to process their pension papers, government has left this category of senior citizens in limbo,“ he said. The Chairman, NUJ, Edo Council, Mr Roland Osakue, said the union shared the pains and challenges of pensioners. He appealed to the pensioners to remain peaceful in their protest, promising that members of the NUJ would use their various media outfits to let the authority know their plight. http://punchng.com/edo-pensioners-protest-non-payment-gratuities/ 2 Likes

And the APC candidate Obaseki promised to create 200,000 new jobs in his campaign address while his boss Oshiomole has not payed pensioners 10 months arrears He should go to Anambra State and ask Willie Obiano how he is able to pay pensioners up to date and even increased civil servants salaries by 15% this year. 29 Likes 4 Shares |
