We are worried about Pensioners – Speaker of Nasarawa State House of Assembly
Speaker of Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi, has disclosed that Nasarawa State House of Assembly is in discussion with the State Governor, Engr Abdullahi Sule, on how to holistically address the plight of pensioners in the State. He made the disclosure while addressing members of the State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners in his office in Lafia yesterday.
He said, Just Day before yesterday, I was with the Governor, and our discussion dwells extensively on pension matters and have agreed that something must be done to salvage the situation because his Excellence himself shows serious concern on the issue.
We are deeply worried about the situation of pensioners in the State and have already taken serious steps on how to address the issue. The problem of pensioners are well known to the members, hence the house has constituted a committee to also know what is happening and ways to correct the wrongs.
The 24 members of the House of Assembly are representing the entire State and we most serve the people as I always said, we have three judgements to face. The judgment of the people, the judgment of posterity and judgment of God. I assure you, by God’s grace you will see a difference, the Speaker added.
