“For that of pensioners, we are doing something about it. The way we resolved the issue of late salary payment, very soon you will see result in pension payment. For MDA’s and parastals that has been owed several months of salaries, you can see now that some of them has started receiving their salaries as at when due and their arias cannot be solved in a day”. Thirty three out of thirty six states in Nigeria are owing pension because of economic meltdown.” Hon. Chukwu said.
