"The senior citizens said the current administration did not continue the payment of their gratuities from 2012 when the last administration of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole stopped. The Oshiomhole government started the payment of gratuities from 1998 till 2012 at the time he left office in 2016."


There is an adage in Yoruba that says, if a woman didn't taste two different husband, she will the one is sweet than the other.

I can comfortably beat my chest that in terms of Salary payment after Osumbo, Obaseki is the best in terms of salary payment.. I have an uncle in the civil service, we have tasted all the Government Igbinedion till date. Osunbo and Obaseki is still the best... Before you quote me and start capping dust I said in terms of "salary payment"

This anti-Edo, anti-PDP, anti-Obaseki Nairaland campaign has started again....

I have said it many times but them no born anybody to follow me debate am, I am in Edo, so I don't troll, nor speak aimlessly, I speak based on the reality on ground.

The Obaseki administration isn't owing pension, what is protested here is the payment of gratuities of 2 sets of persons.....

Take note, under the legacy system, gratuity is a bulk sum that is paid to retirees on retirement, this money typically is calculated as the lump payment of 5yrs-7yrs of only the basic salary inside the monthly wage, then after a year, monthly pension payment commences of typically just the basic salary or a fraction of the basic (it varies from state to state). .

Now only local government retirees from 2008 and state retirees from 2012 are owed gratuities, all of which was accumulated in the wasteful Oshiomole/APC years of purposeless borrowing to settle political thugs......

But all of them are paid their pensions as at when due, all retirees that retired in the course of the Obaseki administration are owed neither Gratuities nor pensions.

Nobody is owed pension in Edo, it is backlog of gratuities, of those 2 sets and government has addressed the pensioneers/protesters (as opposed to some other states that shoot their own protesters, like Lagos), and have given them timeline under which it will be cleared.

In fact, the actual fear is that it should be cleared before Obaseki hands over to a new administration because they have not really had it good, in terms of prompt payment of pensions except under this administration, hence the protest for quick action......

So what is now the wahala......

I am an Edo man, from Edo state, currently in Edo state...........I don't need to read a report to know what is on ground in Edo state!!

The major challenge as expressed in reality is this, Edo state continued to maintain the legacy system of Pension until obaseki entered office.....

Federal government under the Obasanjo administration, introduced the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in 2004 and made it mandatory for all Federal workers, which is much easier as PFA's, Pension Fund Administrators are involved in the process which not only fast tracks the process of Pension processing but payment as well.

Under the CPS, your employer, which is the government in this case, pays a percentage, while a token percentage is deducted from your salary, (I cant remember the actual percentage, I believe it should be 6%, but I will call and find out by this evening).

That money is debited and donated to a PFA account, that belongs to the employee. The PFA takes that money, invests it and when the employee retires, gives the retirees the appropriate amount either as lump sum or via instalments or via a lifetime investment /withdrawal system call annuity - where they keep your money on the grounds of reinvesting it and agree to pay you a specific amount so long as you are alive.

Edo state didn't adopt this CPS until January 2017, under this government!

And one of the drawbacks of CPS is that government is not permitted to owe, as the PFA cannot guarantee the employee is paid the appropriate Pension, if they don't meet to their contributions both from government the employer and the employee.

According to PENCOM, the pension commission, that regulates the industry, only 4 states are currently up to date with remittances and that is Lagos, Edo, Benue and Kaduna......

The legacy Pension system is plagued with corruption, under hand dealings, ghost retired workers and all kinds of crap....

You have workers who can't even get paid because of inconsistencies in records and literally have to start settling people here and there to get their own money......so its a problem...

Granted Oshiomole inherited some backlogs and started paying, but he had too much political baggage and hanger on's to continue.....To the point where people who retired under his administration were now added to the list of the being owed not just gratuities but Pension as well.....

No be there wahala come dey now.......

Obaseki had to struggle to clear Pension backlog, na gratuities backlog na E remain!!

I don talk am, who wan debate is free to do so!

The Obaseki Administration is not owing anybody pension regardless of the year of retirement and it is gratuities from backlogs that is the issue!! Retirees from his own end are under the CPS and are well catered for through the PFA's........

Chikena!

Now take my submission to the real edo workers om ground and see if they will dispute it.......

PENSION: Amount paid periodically (usually monthly) to a worker after he/she retires.

GRATUITY: Amount paid to an ex-employee (usually a lump sum) as appreciation for his/her service.

As usual, OBIDIENTS and APC minions will jump here to castigate the highest paying governor in Nigeria without knowing what the issues are. Obaseki became governor in 2016 and has been paying pensions and gratuities of all retirees from his tenure. On becoming governor, he met the mess left by Oshiomhole and promised to fix it. The four problems he met that he promised to solve were:

i. Digitization of the process to avoid difficulty in collection pension - DONE
ii. Payment of all pension arrears - DONE
iii. Harmonization of pension to reflect the new minimum wage of N30,000, now N40,000 - DONE
iv. Payment of backlog of gratuities - IN VIEW

We must empathize with our old folks because one of their worry is that the next Edo State governor might not treat their issues as well as Obaseki so they want to make sure the government pays their gratuities while Obaseki is still governor.
