Abia Parastatal Pensioners Allege Unpaid Pensions and Gratuities

Pensioners from Abia State parastatals say they are owed gratuities and 13th-month pension payments. They allege that their pensions were stopped after the state government said they were not eligible under the pension system. The pensioners say they have submitted documents and attended meetings over the past year without a resolution. They also claim that eight retirees have died amid hardship and difficulty accessing money for food and medical care. They are appealing to Governor Alex Otti to address the alleged arrears and restore payments to affected retirees.
