The Bayelsa State Government on Monday inaugurated eight committees to supervise the payment of arrears of gratuities, pensions and death benefits owed retired employees of the eight local government councils of the state.
He thanked the caretaker chairmen of the local government councils for their cooperation, noting that the primary responsibility of the committees was to ascertain that cheques for payment were made to the right persons at all centres.
“So, we have come up with a solution to defeat the backlog of about N6billion local government gratuities, pensions and death benefits. And we are taking 30% of that out now. That is why we have set up this committee to supervise the payment. The cheques are ready but we just want to ensure that those who get the cheques are the right people.
