LG Pension: Obaseki approves payment of 28 years gratuity backlog

The Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has approved the payment of a 28-year backlog of gratuity for all retired pensioners who were part of the Edo State Local Government Staff Pension Board payroll between 1979 and 2008.
As such, we would like to inform you that a screening exercise has been scheduled to facilitate the payment process.
The Head of Local Government Administration and Permanent Secretary of the Local Government Staff Pension Board, Mrs. Osas-Ehigie Sandra, has confirmed that the screening exercise will take place at the Local Government Staff Pensions Board Premises in King Square, Benin City.
We would like to remind all eligible pensioners that they are required to physically present themselves at the venue with their pension identity card, biometrics slip, and pay advice between Monday 16th and Friday 20th October, 2023, from 8.00am -4.00pm daily.
This exercise is mandatory for all pensioners who have been confirmed for payment.
We encourage all eligible pensioners to take advantage of this well-deserved payment and attend the screening exercise within the scheduled timeframe.
