In a remarkable move fulfilling his people-first agenda, Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has successfully cleared the long-standing backlog of pensions owed to more than 11,000 local government workers and primary school teachers across the state.
This decisive action brings relief to thousands of retirees who had endured years of financial hardship due to delayed payments.
The Chairman of the Delta State Bureau of Local Government Pensions, Mr. Benjamin Igo, hailed the Governor’s intervention as a “game-changer,” noting that it has finally restored hope and dignity to retirees who served the state diligently.
Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to the welfare of Delta citizens continues to strengthen trust in his administration’s promise of inclusive governance and sustainable progress.
