The commitment made by the Governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki, to
continue to cater to the needs of pensioners who are the state’s senior
citizens, has again been demonstrated, with the payment of N212,879,888
million naira to local government pensioners.
According to Obaseki, the state will continue to accord its
pensioners the respect they have earned and deserve, in the scheme of
things in the state.
He explained that the over N212 million naira was for the month of
August and urged Edo pensioners and workers to support the ongoing
reform embarked upon by his administration in key areas such as
education, primary healthcare, infrastructure, security, job creation
and industrialisation amongst others.
The governor tasked heads of local government areas to creatively
harness the huge human and natural resources that abound in all parts of
the state for the good of all Edo people.
He assured that the newly commissioned BUA Cement company and the Edo
Fertilizer and Chemical Company Limited have started impacting
positively on the economy of the state through the creation of jobs,
access to affordable fertilizer by farmers and the emergence of several
allied businesses.
Edo State exited the committee of civil service states last week,
when the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo commissioned the 60,000
metric tonnes fertilizer plant in Auchi and the two million metric
tonnes BUA Cement plant in Okpella in the state, setting the stage for
huge industrial activities in the two key sectors of the state.
