Alex Otti Orders Payment Of April Salaries Owed Abia Workers, June Pensions
Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has directed immediate payment of arrears of April salaries owed public workers in the state by the immediate past government.
Governor Otti also ordered the payment of June pensions to retirees, some of whom were being owed upwards of 50 months by the last administration.
This is contained in a statement on Monday by the governor’s Chief Press secretary, Kazie Uko, made available to ABN TV.
The payments he said are in fulfillment of his campaign promise not to owe pensioners and those in service and to clear all outstanding verified debts.
According to the statement, “The Governor gave the directive on Monday after a meeting of the Executive Council which had the Deputy Governor, Engr Ikechukwu Emetu, 16 newly sworn-in Commissioners, the Accountant General and other senior functionaries of the State in attendance.
“Dr. Otti directed the Accountant General to ensure that both the April 2023 salary arrears and the June pension are paid before the end of the week, despite the ongoing verification of pensioners and workers in the government payroll.”
