Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State says he has approved immediate release of ₦10 billion to offset pension arrears being owed retired state civil servants

Oborevwori made this known in Asaba during a meeting with the State Pension Board, led by the Chairman of the Bureau of State Pensions, Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje, and the State Chairman of the Association of Contributory Retirees, Comrade Anthony Ozu Osanekwu.

The governor explained that since assuming office, his administration had released ₦36.4 billion for pensions, with ₦1.4 billion disbursed monthly, stressing that the state had not defaulted on pension obligations under his watch.

He, however, noted that the arrears predating his administration must be urgently addressed.

“Our retirees are men and women who gave their best years in service to the state.

Delta State Chairman of the Association of Contributory Retirees, Comrade Anthony Osanekwu, expressed appreciation to the Governor for what he described as an unexpected and magnanimous gesture.
