Anambra publishes approval for N363.381m second tranche of arrears
The Anambra State Government has released a document showing approval for N363.381 million in payments described as the second tranche of salary arrears. The beneficiaries listed are workers, pensioners and next of kin connected to two defunct state agencies, amid an unresolved dispute over the debt.
The Anambra State Government has released a document showing approval for N363.381 million as the second tranche of salary arrears owed to workers, pensioners and next of kin linked to two former state agencies. The document identifies beneficiaries connected to the defunct Anambra State Water Corporation and the Anambra State Environmental Protection Agency. It was released on Friday, according to Punch Nigeria.
The publication comes as the state government remains involved in an ongoing dispute concerning the arrears. The available material does not provide details of the opposing claims, the total amount allegedly owed or the timetable for distributing the approved funds. The document’s release appears intended to demonstrate that approval has been granted for the second payment tranche.
It does not, in the supplied material, establish whether all listed beneficiaries have received money or say when payments will be completed. Punch Nigeria reported the development under the headline “Debt dispute deepens as Anambra releases N363.4m document on workers’ arrears.” No further details about the dispute or responses from affected workers are provided in the source material.
