Dr Alex Otti

According to a press release made public by Mr Kazie Uko, Chief press secretary to Dr Alex Chioma Otti, the Abia Governor has ordered the payment of April Salary and June pension to retirees.

Recall we had earlier reported plans to pay June salary while April and May counts as arrears, Dr Otti who received May federal allocation and paid June has once again reneged on his promise of paying Abia workers May salary few days after inauguration.

Kazie Uko who signed the release captioned: “GOV OTTI ORDERS PAYMENT OF APRIL SALARY ARREARS TO WORKERS, JUNE PENSIONS” added that the Government was paying April salary as the only outstanding civil servant salary owed by the immediate past Government.

The press statement reads in full: “Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, has directed immediate payment of arrears of April salaries owed public workers in the state by the immediate past government.

“Governor Otti also ordered the payment of June pensions to retirees, some of whom were being owed upwards of 50 months by the last administration.

“The payments are in fulfillment of his campaign promise not to owe pensioners and those in service and to clear all outstanding verified debts.

“The Governor gave the directive on Monday after a meeting of the Executive Council which had the Deputy Governor, Engr Ikechukwu Emetu, 16 newly sworn-in Commissioners, the Accountant General and other senior functionaries of the State in attendance.

“Dr. Otti directed the Accountant General to ensure that both the April 2023 salary arrears and the June pension are paid before the end of the week, despite the ongoing verification of pensioners and workers in the government payroll.

"I know government will be losing money by making these payments since verifications of workers and pensioners are still going on. So far, we have unearthed a lot of ghost names in our payroll but I also know there are a lot of genuine names there.

"What we are doing by making these payments, especially as it relates to pensioners, is to help mitigate the sufferings of genuine pensioners, who are mostly elderly and sickly and have had to endure untold hardship for so long," Governor Otti stated, while explaining the reason for his decision.
