Rivers Pensioners Laud Wike Over Directive On Arrears by HzRF(m): 6:19pm On Jul 06, 2015 |
THE Nigerian Union of Pensioners has lauded the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, for approving the payment of three months pension arrears to pensioners. Wike had on Saturday ordered the Accountant General of the state to commence the payment of the pension arrears owed retirees in the state. The State NUP Chairman, Mr. Edward Festus-Abibo expressed gratitude to Wike for showing love to pensioners in the state. Festus-Abibo, who described the immediate past administration in the state as unfavourable to pensioners, lamented that while some pensioners in the state died heartbroken as a result of the non-payment of their pension arrears, a few others had taken ill over the situation. “The governor’s order that our three months pension arrears be paid is a very welcome development. This shows that he (Wike) has sympathy for the elders, who have spent most of their lives working for the state. “The immediate past era in the state were the dark years and dark days of pensioners. Posterity will judge the immediate past administration. As I speak to you, some pensioners have died while most of them are hypertensive. The non-payment of their pension worsened their condition. “We as a group will make out time to visit the governor to thank him for remembering pensioners and ordering that their pensions be paid at a critical time when it was reported that he (Wike) met an empty treasury,” the state NUP chairman said. Wike had earlier in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Sir Opunbo Inko-Tariah and issued on Saturday said it was callous and insensitive to owe pensioners, who had served the state creditably. The governor recalled that pensioners in the state had been owed for months, adding, even the protests embarked upon over the non-payment of their pensions did not get the immediate past governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, to pay them. According to the statement, “The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has ordered the accountant general of the state to pay pensioners their three months arrears owed them by Rotimi Amaechi http://www.punchng.com/news/rivers-pensioners-laud-wike-over-directive-on-arrears/ |

Politicians are lauded in Nigeria for doing what is statutory and non-negotiable. A workman is entitled to his wages, ordering the Acc. general to do his duty is real politics and a cheap score at that. That acct. dude should be sacked for negligence of his duty and responsibilities. 1 Like 1 Share |

ABEngine: My brother, this society isn't a normal one. I agree with everything you've said above. However, this normal and statutory duties are now applauded because of the embarrassing failure on the part of the most governors to do it. 1 Like |

Somebody owed this pensioners, but in the eyes of the Nigerian Press and their alamjiri followers, he was branded a progressive. |

Mr. Amaechi also said that despite inheriting pension arrears of over N4.5 billion, he left office owing three months of pension arrears to the main stream and two months of parastatal pensions. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/south-south-regional/185593-how-i-delivered-good-governance-to-rivers-state-amaechi.html While Others were owning so much months Amaechi owned just three months and he cleared the debts he inherited. This is an indication that Amaechi was being truthful. Thank You Amaechi for this. Thank u wike also for paying the remaining 3 months even though u borrowed the money to pay up despite receiving so much allocation and IGR. Rivers is a continuous project. |
