We don’t know our fate on Unpaid Benefits – Rivers State Pensioners

Rivers State pensioners have disclosed that they don’t know their fate concerning unpaid benefits, as they proceed on another protest due to no feedback from the State government, three weeks after reaching an agreement with the state government to set up a tripartite committee to address their plights.

The organised labour and Rivers Government, had around three weeks ago, reached an agreement that the state government would set up a tripartite committee to address the pensioners plights and that led to the suspension of a planned labour strike by the pensioners.

Speaking on behalf of the pensioners, the Secretary to the Nigerian Union of Pensioners, Rivers State branch, Joseph Agbo, said the pensioners were yet to know their fate concerning their unpaid benefits.

Agbo said, “When we had a meeting, it was agreed that the issue of pension, including gratuity, non-payment of death benefits; all were included, but until this moment, we don’t know our fate. The committee the government said it will set up; up till now, they have not done it, nothing has been done.

“We have written to the Secretary to the State Government, requesting an audience so that we can explain our problems because if you are not a pensioner, you would not know much about the problems we face.

“But up till now, our letter is just there, they don’t care. The government has no regard for their fathers; that is why they have no regard for pensioners in this state.”
