Imo State Governor Ihedioha reassures on payment of pensions

Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha has restated the readiness of his administration to commence payment of pensions in the state within the shortest period of time.

He enjoined the pensioners to exercise a little more patience with the government to address the issue.

The governor, who gave the assurance while on inspection of the ongoing capturing of the over 29,000 pensioners’ files and data at the Government House yesterday, said: “We did promise our pensioners that we are going to pay them but it is important that we verify those we are going to pay.

“I appreciate the patience our pensioners have displayed over the period and I am happy we are making the needed efforts and sacrifices to ensure that we keep faith with our pensioners.”
