 The governor said that his administration had paid over N1billion to pensioners to ameliorate their suffering as senior citizens despite the dearth of funds in the state, adding that his government had already looked for ways through promissory notes with financial institutions to access funds to clear the backlog of gratuity but for one reason or the other, the pensioners rejected the agreement.

 Speaking further, the governor dismissed the insinuation that the state collected bailout from the federal government to pay arrears of workers’ salaries. He said what the states got was a bridge finance to fill the holes created by the deduction for the repayment of an earlier bailout.
