NewzLocal government councils in Enugu State, Nigeria, have announced the commencement of payments for gratuity arrears that have remained outstanding for 25 years. The initiative is set to begin in October, marking a significant effort to address long-standing financial obligations owed to retirees within the local government system.
To facilitate these payments, the councils have committed to dedicating 10 percent of their monthly federal allocations specifically toward clearing the backlog. This policy shift represents a structured approach to resolving the multi-decade debt and providing financial relief to former local government employees.
