Oborevwori set to clear pensions payments backlog – EAC Latimore
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

With the appointment and inauguration of the Chairman, Delta State Bureau of Pensions, and super technocrat, Sir Edwin Ogigi-Gbegbaje, on Tuesday, all is now set for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, to end bureaucratic bottlenecks, and resolve all issues negating payment of pensions in the state.

Executive Assistant on Communications to the Governor and Head of Delta State Orientation Bureau, Dr Latimore Oghenesivbe, gave the assurance in Asaba on Tuesday while speaking to newsmen at the inauguration ceremony of three Special Advisers, Chairman of Pensions Bureau, some board chairmen and members at the Unity Hall, Government House.

He said the issue of backlog of pensions of retired and retiring civil servants will soon be a thing of the past, saying that the unavoidable delays in payments had in the past generated controversies, which prompted governor Oborevwori to promise during his electioneering campaigns an end to the lingering backlog of payments of pensions if voted governor of the state.

Oghenesivbe averred that Governor Oborevwori being a promise keeper and a meticulous leader with great insights, and a passion for details, and after reviewing the pensions payment lacuna, decided to appoint one of the best brains in public service, Sir Eddie Ogigi-Gbegbaje, to step in as the new helmsman of the Pensions Bureau, to deliver on the governor’s electioneering promise to put smiles on the faces of retired and retiring civil servants in the state.

He assured that Sir Eddie Gbegbaje, who retired recently as Permanent Secretary, Government House and Protocols, is well exposed to the laudable visions of the state governor under the MORE Agenda, and therefore, a round peg in a round hole, noting that the Pensions Bureau under Gbagbaje’s leadership will do the needful, and adequately advise the governor and the state government on positive steps towards clearing backlog of pensions in the state within a reasonable time frame.

The EA Communications emphasized the need for Deltans to look forward to a more prosperous future under the Oborevwori administration, assuring that Governor Oborevwori came prepared to serve Deltans with an open heart, and will continue to implement people-focused reforms, policies and programmes that would consistently upscale the living standards of Deltans, create job and wealth, subject to availability of state financial resources.

“It is crystal clear that Governor Oborevwori is set to put smiles on the faces of retired and retiring civil servants in Delta State, with the appointment and inauguration of a super technocrat, Sir Eddie Ogigi-Gbegbaje as Chairman, Delta State Bureau of Pensions.

“Gbegbaje’s appointment by governor Oborevwori was greeted with loud ovation across the state, because of his superlative track records as a seasoned top-ranking retired civil servant, coupled with his enviable legacies as the immediate past Permanent Secretary, Government House and Protocols.

“The appointment and inauguration of Gbegbaje today is a confirmation that Governor Oborevwori is prepared to fully address the lingering pensions backlog payments that have attracted multifaceted media mention, and public outcry in recent times.

“I congratulate Sir Eddie Ogigi-Gbegbaje, for his well-deserved appointment and inauguration as Chairman, Delta State Bureau of Pensions.

“He’s got the experience, the willpower and the capacity to rebrand the Bureau and deliver on his assigned responsibilities.

“I Urge Deltans to continue to support and partner governor Sheriff Oborevwori, for the full implementation of the MORE agenda, which the governor painstakingly and wholeheartedly designed to Advance Delta.”
