The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Imo State chapter and the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, have jointly debunked information directing pensioners in the State to submit their personal documents to the office of the Secretary to the State Government for onward payment of their gratuities.
In a joint press statement signed by NLC State Chairperson, Uche Chigemezu Nwigwe and State Chairman of NUP, JB Ugochukwu, the Labour Unions described the report as fake and misleading information with the intention of defrauding unsuspecting members of the Public.
Both NLC and NUP discarded the report as unauthorized, and did not emanate from either of the two unions.
“As we are all aware, labour engagement with the State Government for the payment of the next batch of the gratuity is still on and Governor Hope Uzodinma is very much on course for the payment as he promised.
“All pensioners are hereby advised to disregard such fake news and avoid falling victim to misinformation, fraudsters, or unauthorized individuals demanding money or personal details in connection with gratuity payments,” the release added.
They advised pensioners seeking for accurate information and official updates regarding gratuity matters to contact or visit, NUP Office or NLC Secretariat.
The leadership of the organized labour reiterated its committed to protecting the interest and welfare of pensioners and workers at all times.
