Umuahia, March 22, 2024 – Gov. Alex Otti of Abia State has signed into law a bill to repeal the payment of pensions to former governors and their deputies as enacted by the immediate past administration.
The Executive Bill passed on Tuesday by the state House of Assembly, is now the “Abia State Governors and Deputy Governors Pensions (Repeal) Law, 2024.”
Otti, while signing the bill into law on Thursday, said government was not about self-interest which had destroyed government.
“Even before this new law came into place, a lot of people who have followed our views in the national discuss understand that we were not going to continue the practice of paying pensions and allowances to this set of former government officials,” Governor Otti said. (GBN)
