THE Ogun State Government has paid a sum of N1.5b to 54 billion to offset arrears of the gratuity of retired civil servants in the state.
The state Head of Service, Mr Abayomi Sobande, while presenting cheques to the pensioners at the Arcade ground, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, said that no fewer than 546 retirees retired from service between July and December 2012.
He pleaded with those who had not collected their cheques to the year of retirement to wait for their batches, as the government would not compromise in its efforts to give them their entitlement.
Sobande assured that government would continue with the payment in batches based on its schedule as released by the Bureau of State Pensions, with assurance to pay when due. He added that the government would continue to pay pensioners in the state and that no backlog of arrears of retirees would be left unpaid before and after the present administration ends its tenure in 2019.
