Anambra State Approves N363m for Workers' Arrears
The Anambra State Government has released a document approving N363.381m as the second tranche of salary arrears for workers, pensioners, and next of kin of the defunct Anambra State Water Corporation and the Anambra State Environmental Protection Agency. This document, dated May 24, 2025, was signed by Dame Theodora Okwy Igwegbe, the then Head of Service, and addressed to Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
The payment is part of an out-of-court settlement reached on February 6, 2024, with the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service, Technical and Recreational Services Employees. It is stated that the second tranche is due for disbursement in 2026.
The release of this document comes amid ongoing disputes with ex-Governor Peter Obi, who claims he left Anambra State without unpaid salaries or pensions. Obi has also denied borrowing money or issuing bonds during his tenure.
The Soludo administration has previously paid the first tranche of workers' entitlements.
