Pensioners Appeal To River State Government To Pay Their Four-year Rewards.

Pensioners in Rivers State have begged Governor Nyesom Wike to pay their four years pension rewards so that they can live and be able to feed themselves and not die in poverty.

The pensioners in a statement, by their chairman, Mr Lucky Ati, regretted that some of them had not received anything from the state government since 2015.

“We have written several letters to Governor Nyesom Wike to no avail,” the pensioners wrote in a letter made available to newsmen on Monday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

“The administration preceding Wike enacted the contributory pension without preparations and plans for a smooth take-off; this has caused us untold hardship and even deaths,” they said.

The group, however, thanked Wike for repealing the pension law but pleaded with him to come to their aid by paying them.
