Nigeria pensioners, who retired from the electricity sector, have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the lingering issue of N35 billion arrears owed them. The pensioners under the aegis of Electricity Sector Retiree Welfare Association (ESREWA) led by its President, Elder Benjamin- Maisamari Amako, said this while addressing newsmen at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Friday in Abuja. Amako said the delay in payment of the pension arrears had led to untold hardship for its members. “Interestingly, President Buhari has already directed that this same arrears be paid to us. “But for over five years since the President’s directive, the relevant authorities whose responsibility it is to ensure we get the arrears for our dying members, seem to be working contrarily.
