From Nahum Sule, Jalingo

A pensioner in Taraba State, Bakari Muhammed Tukur, who retired from Ministry of Co-operative and Poverty Alleviation in 2013 has made an compelling appeal for the settlement of a decade-long backlog in gratuity payments from Governor Kefas Agbu of Taraba State.

Bakari Tukur who made the plea while briefing newsmen in Jalingo, State Capital on Saturday said prompt action to address the long standing gratuity arrears is necessary as the dire situation, highlighting that many pensioners are grappling with health issues and some have sadly passed away.

Noting that the importance of honoring commitments to retired public servants is sacrosanct, and called on the stakeholders in the state to collaborate in finding a swift resolution of the lingering leadership tussle in the Union of Pensioners in Taraba that is before the Court of law.

He noted that, they have confidence on Dr. Agbu Kefas administration, stressing the need to work assiduously towards clearing a backlog of over 10 years’ worth of outstanding gratuity.

According to Tukur, this move aims to alleviate the financial burden on the senior citizens who have dedicated their lives for many years in service to the state.

“Taraba State pensioners are enduring a series of hardships, painting a stark picture of their post-retirement challenges. From delayed of gratuity and pension payments to inadequate healthcare support, the retirees face financial strain and limited access to essential services. The aging retirees in Taraba state often grapples with health issues, exacerbated by the lack of proper medical facilities, affordable healthcare, and financing their children education.
