Gov Mbah inaugurates committee on verification, payment of outstanding pensions, gratuities

Enugu State Governor, Barr Peter Mbah has raised the hope of retired primary school teachers and other local government retirees in the State by inaugurating a committee on the “Verification and Payment of Outstanding Pensions and Gratuities to Local Government Staff and Primary School Teachers.”

The Governor, while inaugurating the 9-member committee at the Government House, Enugu, said the decision was in continuation of his commitment to ensuring that retirees who had served and helped in building the state were rewarded with their entitlements.

He recalled that a similar committee was recently constituted at the state level to clear the outstanding pensions and gratuities owed civil servants since 2006, adding that the decision was in fulfillment of his campaign promise to the people.

Governor Mbah, who charged the committee to reflect their integrity and experiences on the assignment given them, said the team was selected based on some critical consideration bordering on their track records and credibility in life.

He further disclosed that the committee at the state level, which would serve as a guide, had done extensive work and was expected to submit its report and recommendations on Friday.

The Governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof Chidiebere Onyia, expressed confidence in the integrity of the members of the committee, even as he enjoined them to justify their selection into the all-important team by upholding the hope of the people and what the government represents
