The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has signed an executive bill repealing the law that created pension allowances and gratuities to former governors, deputy governors, speakers and deputy speakers.
Speaking after accenting to the Bill at Sam Mbakwe Exco Chambers, Government House, Owerri, the governor noted that the law has become necessary as it runs contrary to the 1999 constitution as amended, which stipulates that a pensioner must have worked for at least 10 years and must be up to 45 years of age.
Uzodimma noted: “Apart from the inconsistency of such a law to the provisions of the ground norm, which is the Constitution of 1999 (as amended), this has led for a very long time a precedence that does not encourage diligence and prudence in service delivery.”|>>>IMO
