The Ebonyi State Government has begun steps to disburse gratuity payments to former employees of local governments who retired between 1996 and the present.

To facilitate this process, Governor Francis Nwifuru has set up a six-person panel led by Mrs. Catherine Ogbu to identify and compensate verified retirees from local councils.

Other appointed members include Mrs. Mbam Joy, Dr. Cajethan Oketa, Hon. Justice Iheanachor Chima, and Comrade David Elom, who is representing the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT). Mr. Martins Uguru has been named as the committee’s secretary.

Governor Nwifuru urged the panel to maintain integrity and transparency while carrying out their duties.

“I have confidence in the calibre of persons selected to do this assignment. I want everybody who had the opportunity to serve this State at the local government level, to get their full entitlements.

“We are embarking on this not because we have enough but just like I told the local government Chairmen, that the payment is as important as physical projects,” he said

This was revealed in a statement released on Friday by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Dr. Monday Uzor, and shared with media outlets in Abakaliki.

The Governor instructed that all retirees must receive their payment on the same day they are verified.

“Use available documents as guides and ensure every retiree receives an alert immediately he or she is verified,” he added.

He also expressed gratitude to the Local Government Chairmen for recognizing the significance of the initiative.
