The Acting Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Kayode Oladele, has reiterated his commitment to ensuring the prompt payment of outstanding retirement benefits owed to the Commission’s retired staff.
Oladele gave this assurance on Thursday, during an appreciation visit by a group of retirees led by former Director of Human Resources, Comrade Sunday Eteng, at the FCC headquarters in Abuja.
The visit came after the Commission paid retirement benefits to 10 former staff.
While welcoming the retirees, Oladele acknowledged their long years of dedicated service, noting that some of them had spent over 29 years at the Commission.
He lamented the poor state of staff welfare at the Commission, describing it as nonexistent, and pledged to make it a top priority during his tenure.
“To whom much is given, much is expected. The right thing will be done, and staff welfare will no longer be ignored,” Oladele added.
