Enugu State Governor releases N32bn to clear pension and gratuity backlogs
What happened
Peter Mbah allocated N32 billion to address state financial backlogs in Enugu State. This payment allows the first batch of pensioners, covering gratuities from 2000 to 2015, to begin receiving payments after 26 years of waiting. The funds are intended to clear gratuities owed since 2000, with payments to civil service starting two weeks ago and local government payments starting last week.
