Rotarian Oliver Jerry
from Taraba State Northeast Nigeria has said he is in full support of Abia State Law-
makers who he noted
signed a Bill for a Law re-
pealing the ex Governors
and their Deputies from
receiving Pensions.
Oliver Jerry, who stated
this Weekend while speaking exclusively in Jalingo shortly after an Award-giving Event, "Taraba's 20 most
Influential Youths", said
such acts are other means of syphoning the Nation's economic resources, Expressing dismay over the atitude of some state governments paying Pensions to former Governors and their deputies, he disclosed that such acts amounts to waste of Government resources.
"It makes no sense for
somebody to serve as
Governor or Deputy for
four years or eight years
and receive Pension, and
the Amount they receive,
career Civil Servants that
serve for thirty five (35)
years don't receive such
Amount.
"This is another way of continuing the looting
of our common economic resources.
"It's not the best and it's
not good for our democ-
racy and putting a stop to
such practice will improve the economy and development off the State", he said. While calling on Governments, Houses of Assembly from other States
to emulate Abia State Legislators andGovernment,
the Rotarian opined that
efforts should be intensi-
fied to put a stop to what
he described as, 'this criminal way of syphoning the Nation's economy' Speaking on his philanthropic life style, impacting on the most vulnerable
persons in the Society thatearned him an Award, Rotarian Oliver Jerry said he feel fulfilled rendering assistance to the Needy.
If you are not able to
manage this hungry in the land very well, these same people that are vulnerable today, will become the Society problem tomorrow.
So, it will be good for
people to queue together
and begin to help others.
Government around
should borrow a leaf from what Governors Mai Mala Buni and Babagana Umara Zulum of Yobe and Borno States respectively are do-
ing",
