Just to inform you, that the payment of gratuities for retired Civil Servants of Ebonyi State, from 2022 to 2023 AND mop-up (those who were not paid) for the initial payment exercise (1996 to 2021) has reached the penultimate stage, today.
I can reliably inform you, that as at close of work today, May 8, 2024, a total number of 489 retirees have been paid for this second trench. The total sum of gratuity paid from April 30, 2024 till today is N1,361,411,669.50kobo.
The payment will be concluded tomorrow.
His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is not reneging on his promise of ensuring that gratuities of retirees are paid on the actual date of retirement. This will then set the pension of the retiree in motion.
He has availed the committee all needed arsenals to prosecute these payments accordingly. In no distant time, the committee will catch up with retirees of 2024 and it will flow effortlessly.
It can only be possible when you have a leader who SERVES in every sense of the word.
