Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State announced yesterday that his administration has disbursed over N14.5 billion to meet various pension obligations.
He emphasised the government’s commitment to ensuring that the 2025 budget addresses the needs of communities statewide.
During an interactive meeting in Asaba with Permanent Secretaries, Directors, and Heads of Parastatals, Departments, and Agencies, Oborevwori reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to the timely and sustainable payment of pensions and employee benefits.
He said: “I have made a lot of efforts to see that we partner in order to move our state forward. I want everyone to be happy as we are working.
“When I came in I called the Head of Service and we made sure that the cry about promotion arrears was ended. We paid about N5.5 billion in four tranches to settle the issue of promotion arrears.
“I asked the Accountant- General what to do to ensure that we pay workers before the end of the month preferably, on the 26th of every month. Since I came, we have never paid workers salaries on the 1st. I pay before the end of every month.
“On the issue of training, I have always approved any memo on training because I encourage training. I have also approved monies for the funding of ‘the public officers’ loan scheme.”
