Pensioners in Anambra State have threatened to embark on a hunger strike over unpaid gratuities.
It was gathered that the State Chairman of the pensioners, Anthony Ugozor, made this threat in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on Sunday.
Ugozor, who claimed that the State government was owing pensioners in the State 4 years arrears of gratuities, said the retirees would hold a meeting early next year to take a decision on the matter.
“There are arrears of 4 years of gratuities in Anambra. The payment of gratuities stopped in Anambra in 2017. No retiree in the state of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, has receive gratuity, “Ugozor said.
