In its bid to stop the series of garnishee orders against the state government, Gov. Hyacinth Alia, has appealed to pensioners to withdraw all cases filed against it in court.
Alia made the appeal on Monday in Makurdi, during a stakeholders meeting between government and the pensioners. He, however, reminded the pensioners that he had been faithful to his campaign promises to them, by paying their allowances monthly, adding that those who had retired after he assumed office had been paid their entitlements.
“As at the time the governor assumed office, the state pensioners were being owed 42 months, and the local government retirees, 96 months, all amounting to N163.7 billion,” Mnyim said.
