The Legendary Nollywood actor, Chief Pete Edochie, who retired as the Director of Programmes (DP) at the ancient Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) in 1998, has eventually received his gratuity from the Anambra state government.
Some retirees of the ABS on Wednesday, 27th september 2017 received their long awaited outstanding gratuities from the office of the Anambra State Accountant General.
Former Director General (DG) of the organisation, Boniface Offokaja, who retired in 1984 was among the recipients, while Nollywood legend Chief Edochie who retired from ABS as DP was also a recipient, and was full of praise for Governor Willie Obiano for fulfilling his promise to clear outstanding pensions and gratuities of the organisation.
After receiving his cheque, Chief Edochie disclosed, “Many of us have lost hope that we will ever receive our gratuities. Despite our meritorious service to Anambra State, successive governments chose to neglect us. What Governor Willie Obiano has done today is remarkable. We are praying for him because he is a compassionate governor.”
Responding, the Managing Director and CEO of the ABS, Nze Uche Nworah said that Governor Obiano has lifted a huge burden off the shoulders of the organisation.
“We are delighted that today, some of our retirees including those who retired since 1984 have finally received their outstanding gratuities. We thank Governor Obiano for making this possible.”
Rostrum further gathered that the next batch of retirees would be paid in October.
