The National Industrial Court (NIC), Owerri yesterday Wednesday 5th July 2017 nullified the slashing of payments to pensioners of the Imo State Public Service. The 60% Slash was contained in a form issued by the Imo State Government to pensioners to sign accepting the cut.
Presiding Judge, Hon. Justice Anuwe held that the Imo State Government acted illegally and unconstitutionally. The court also made an order of perpetual injunction against the Imo State Government and its officers and agents.
The pro bono case was brought before the Honourable Court by the Owerri Branch of NBA and handled by Barr. Uche Wisdom Durueke.
According to a text message from the Chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Owerri Branch, Barr. Lawrence Nwakaeti, obtained by PoliticsNGR, the Imo state government and its agents can no longer carry out the directives of the controversial document.
God is the voice of his people, it's totally wrong to deprive pensioners their rights after years of working for the government, congrats to the people of IMO state.
