Contributory Pension: Obaseki Presents N7.3m Benefits To Next Of Kin
In a landmark demonstration of the benefits of pension reforms in the state, Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has disbursed N7.3233 million to four next of kin of two deceased enrollees in the state’s contributory pension scheme.
The beneficiaries are Oriomon Morrison, Oriomon Emuata, Osahenrunmwen Iyawe and Patience Iyawe, who received the sum as benefits under the Group Life Assurance Scheme.
Presenting the cheques at the Government House, Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, said the presentation of cheques to the next of kin to deceased civil servants with the State Civil Service Commission was history being recorded during his administration.
According to him, “When this government came into power, I promised that we will not leave the pension scheme the way we met it. When we came into office, we assured Edo people that all issues relating to pension are going to be resolved.
“Those who do not believe that our government is working will now know that we mean well for our people and those who served the state.”
The Head of Service, Mrs Gladys Idahor, expressed appreciation to the governor for initiating the contributory pension scheme in the state, adding that with the scheme in place, pensioners will have no reason to protest in demand for pension.
Idahor explained that a provision under the contributory pension scheme required that aside next of kin receiving pension, they are also entitled to three times the annual salary prior to death.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mr Osahenrunmwen Iyawe expressed appreciation to the governor for the scheme, as he is a beneficiary of the scheme.
