…RELEASES SUBVENTION TO HIGHER INSTITUTIONS

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji has approved the release of the sum of one billion naira as gratuity to State pensioners.

Similarly, the Governor has also approved payment of two months pension arrears to local government pensioners.

This is coming barely a month after the Governor distributed a total N3.5 billion in gratuity cheques to retirees in the state, in a bold effort aimed at offseting the backlog of outstanding gratuities.

Additionally, Governor Oyebanji has also approved payment of two months outstanding subvention to Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti and one month outstanding subvention each to Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, (EKSUTH), Ado-Ekiti; Bamidele Olomilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti; and College of Health Science and Technology, Ijero- Ekiti.

Also, approved for release is one month outstanding subvention to the Judiciary.

The payments are in fulfilment of the Governor’s promise to priortise welfare and wellbeing of workers and retirees and ensure that all outstanding entitlements of workers and pensioners owed by previous administrations are paid to them in line with the continuity and shared prosperity agenda of the administration.

The Governor urges workers in the state to remain focused on excellent service delivery, assuring them of his administration’s commitment to their welfare as well as payment of all their entitlements.

    This is fanta fabulous, awesomely great!
    We have never got a reliable and trustworthy governor like BAO in Ekiti.
    Once open a time we got a governor who got budget support, Paris fund, bailouts, faac, igr every month only to pocket it all. He even called pensioners dead people!
    Also another one was absentee Governor, we only heard English nothing came out.
    At last BAO CAME AS PENSIONERS SAVIOUR!
    IT SHALL BE WELL WITH BAO, HIS CHILDREN, FATHER, WIFE AND ALL HIS FAMILY IJN AMEEEN
