The Benue State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order, Fidelis Mnyim Monday disclosed that the present administration inherited over N163.7 billion backlog of pensions and gratuity from successive governments.
He however lamented that some pensioners had resorted to seeking court orders to garnish the bank accounts of the state government which would frustrate the government’s efforts to ensure that pensioners got their due a the end of every month. “All the calls to withdraw cases from court do not amount to a threat but an appeal to all of us to allow the governor to concentrate on regular payment of pension allowances and gratuities.
The Chairman of Forum of Retired Permanent Secretaries, Mr. Hyacinth Ikyaagba who commended the government for the meeting said it would avail pensioners the opportunity to speak on any issue concerning their welfare.
