A bill for a law to provide life
pension for former governors and
deputy governor of Enugu has scaled
through the first reading at the State
House of Assembly
The Executive bill, which was
presented for first reading during the
plenary in Enugu on Thursday,
sought to provide pension for the
governor and his deputy after serving
their tenure in office.
The piece of legislation would make a
former governor or deputy governor
entitled to gratuity as well as pension
for life at the expense of the state
government.
The bill also made provision for
medical allowance not exceeding
N12m per annum for one surviving
spouse, provided that such spouse
was married to the governor while in
office.
While the state government would
provide adequate security for the
former governors for their lifetime,
the bill, when passed, would also
mandate the state government to
provide three vehicles for the ex-
governor and replace them every four
years.
“A person who had held office as
elected governor or deputy governor
in Enugu State or any other state
should be entitled to pension for life.
“The entitlement to the pension
should be provided that such a
person was not removed from office
by the process of impeachment.
“When a former governor or former
deputy governor dies, the state
government should make adequate
arrangement and bear the financial
responsibility for his burial.
“The state government should pay a
condolence allowance of a sum
equivalent to the annual basic salary
of the incumbent to his next of kin.
In his remark, Deputy Speaker of the
House, Uche Ugwu, who presided
over the plenary asked his colleague
to properly study the bill in order to
make robust contribution during the
second reading.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that the House thereafter adjourned
its plenary to Tuesday, March 16,
2021.

So if the bill scale through, govs will be on life pension?

But I thought some miscreants were bleating all the places the other time about Lagos.

If I could remember, the clowns said Tinubu was milking Lagos dry. And such useless noise actually started when a bill sought stoppage of the pension.

Nawao.

Meanwhile, has Tinubu finally addressed the water shortage in Enugu state?

When a thief is in power, this Is kind of news you will be hearing. ugwuanyi bu onye oshi. pension kee am there.

That fat toad at Enugu government house needs to thread carefully..
This bill s very offensive and should be discarded!
All the previous governors of that state are billionaires as we speak, what else do they want?
