Umo Eno Approves Immediate Release Of N1.4B For Gratuities

In fulfillment of his campaign promise, His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno, has authorized the immediate release of 1.4 billion Naira for further payment of gratuities.

The breakdown of the payment is as follows: 900 million Naira for retired State Civil servants and 500million Naira for retired primary school teachers.

The release of the additional 1.4 billion Naira brings the total amount of gratuities paid so far by the Governor, ten months after his inauguration to 16.1 billion Naira.

Even though it is an acknowledged fact that gratuities are entitlements, but the courage to consistently release funds for the payment, further demonstrates the people- centric approach to governance by His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno.

This gesture, will undoubtedly help our retirees cushion the harsh effects of the current economic situation in the country.
