The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has urged Governor Udom Emmanuel to address the issues of pension adjustment, gratuities,
The NLC chairperson in the state, Comrade Sunny James made the appeal on Monday during the Workers’ Day celebration which was themed “Workers’ Rights and Economic Justice,” held at the Ibom Hall, Uyo, the state capital.
He also urged the governor to address the consequential pensions adjustment of retirees in line with the 2020 National Minimum Wage and release funds for the payment of gratuities monthly to all categories of workers in the state. In response, Governor Udom Emmanuel assured the NLC that the consequential pensions adjustment of retirees is being worked on, and all outstanding pensions and the allowances of medical doctors on housemanship would be cleared before he vacates office on May 29.
“I had a meeting with the pensioners who brought something to my attention. I stand on my promise that we would correct those issues of the pensioners if their joint report will be ready by that Wednesday and they promised me that the report would be ready. “We have done the 2022 promotion. [The] 2022 promotion has been signed and I would be surprised if the Head of Service has not circulated that because that should go for implementation,” the governor stated.
