Executive Secretary, Mushin Local Government, Mr Jide Bello(left), with developer of Ladipo Market, Mr Chris Onyekah, briefing newsmen on crisis at Ladipo Market in Lagos, last Thursday.

The Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, has ordered the Accountant General of the State to pay Pensioners their three months’ arrears owed them by the past government of Chibuike  Rotimi Amaechi.
A statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, quoted the governor as saying that it was callous and insensitive to owe pensioners who have served the state creditably. It will be recalled that pensioners in the state were owed for months by Amaechi.
The governor has, therefore,  promised to ensure regular payment of their pensions.
Wike had a week ago, ordered that the two months’ salary arrears owed civil servants in the state, be cleared.
It will be recalled that pensioners in the state were owned for months by the past administration.
