Leadership of the Adamawa state Pension Board has sought for upward review of monthly allocation from #50million to #350million monthly for speedy settlement of outstanding gratuities within 4 years.
The Board further sought for approval for the implementation of newly reviewed pension rate for pensioners in the state, a minimum of #7,000 as against the current #4,000.
The Executive Chairman of the Board, Thomas T. Madi, made the request while receiving the House Standard Committee on Public Petitions and Electoral Matters, led by its Chairman, Hon. Adwawa Donglock(Guyuk) on a familiarisation visit of agencies under the Committee.
Madi appealed to the government to consider introducing an indigenous and befitting contributory pension scheme which will be workable in the state.
