 Okpebholo Approves N1bn for Payment of Pensioners’ Gratuities Owed Since 2012


Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has approved N1 billion for the payment of outstanding gratuities to pensioners, some of which have been pending since 2012.


The governor said the move marks the beginning of efforts to clear the backlog of entitlements inherited from past administrations, describing it as a crucial step toward addressing the hardship faced by retired civil servants.


“For over a decade, many of our retirees have suffered due to the non-payment of their gratuities. This administration is putting an end to that,” he stated.


Governor Okpebholo reiterated his administration’s commitment to prioritizing the welfare of pensioners and ensuring they receive their entitlements without further delays.


He assured that the payments would be made in phases through a transparent and structured verification process, adding that mechanisms would be put in place to prevent similar delays in the future.


“This is just the beginning. We won’t abandon our pensioners. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” he added.
