PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS IMPORTANT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the conclusion of the work of the Committee on the Verification of the State Pensions & Gratuities from 2nd October, 1996 to 6th June, 2017, and following the presentation and consideration of the Committee’s Report by the Executive Council of Ebonyi State on Tuesday the 15th of August, 2017, the Council has authorized the release of the sum of N1.5 billion for the payment of arrears of pensions and gratuities of Ebonyi workers from 1996 to 2017. Specifically, the sum of N750 million has been approved for the payment of the pensions arrears and gratuities of retired State Civil Servants and an equal amount of N750 million has also been approved by Council for the payment of the pensions arrears and gratuities of Local Government workers.

The Chairman of Council, His Excellency, Engr David Nweze Umahi, has therefore directed all eligible beneficiaries to please proceed immediately to the office of the Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State for verification in order to ensure that payments are disbursed with dispatch.

Furthermore, Council deliberated on the deepening economic recession in the country and resolved to expand the empowerment programme of the Government of Ebonyi State in order meet the growing economic challenges faced by the ordinary citizens, particularly the most vulnerable in society.

Accordingly, therefore, the ongoing economic empowerment of over 2000 widows across the state with the sum of N200,000 each will be released from Monday the 21st of August, 2017, now that the verification exercise by the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Religious and Welfare Matters has been completed and his report presented to Council.

The widows empowerment programme has also been expanded to accommodate additional 2000 widows who will be selected, verified and paid the sum of N200,000 each by 1st October, 2017.

Let it be reiterated that the N1billion naira budgeted for the empowerment of 4000 eligible Ebonyians is still being disbursed by the Ministry of Empowerment and Job Creation. As at today, about 1000 people have applied and collected grants of up to N250,000 each. Others who meet the criteria should expect to be paid with effect from Monday the 21st of August, 2017. The Ministry of Empowerment and Job Creation will announce and publish the names of recipients of the grants at the conclusion of the disbursements.

Finally, in a unique partnership programme with the Bank of Industry, the Government of Ebonyi State has established an SME Fund of N4 billion, operated by the BOI, for companies and cooperative societies with a qualifying business plan to access loan facilities ranging from N1 million to N100 million to either start or expand small scale or medium scale enterprises.

Interested Ebonyians with creativity and entrepreneurial drive are encouraged to approach the BOI to obtain loan facilities at a staggeringly low interest rate of just 6%.

Hmm

Hello Nairalanders.
I want to inform everyone that I will be marrying next week at Lagos.
I'm expecting everyone there.
I am going to throw a very big party. Everyone's invited. And no need to be formal by bringing gifts. Just bring someone that can marry me...

Nigeria will never improve with this level of hatred and tribalism...A shamefull behaviour indeed!!!

Slavery is when you rely on the government for survival. Stupidity is when you have this mentality that you're entitled to benefits that comes with retirement. The active workforce haven't been paid, now the government have to also worry about the dormant population that contributes absolutely nothing to the economy. If you're reading this post and you're a pensioner, you're nothing but a liability. Yes, you're a liability to Nigeria and believe me, you're helping Nigeria down to oblivion.

We as people have to wake up and start preparing ahead. The government can't do everything. As an employee, invest for the future by delving into some investments capable of springing in passive income. Being rich is not about acquiring property. It's about acquiring assets that finances your liabilities.

That's highly commendable if executed. Others should also follow suit.

For the pensioneers who are still living, for many has died out of frustration and also who the widows?
Nonsense.

I pray its not too late for some who might have died waiting or their next of kin also died while waiting all this while but still better late than never, some states don't even have it as priority to pay up gratuities and pension despite collecting Paris fund twice
