According to him, the sum of N400million was earmarked to pay LG pensioners. He added that JAAC also agreed that the sum of N300million should go towards paying allowances owed former political office holders at the LG level.

The ALGON chairman said that the payment of part of the arrears owed the workers would ameliorate their sufferings.
