Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has authorized a new monthly allowance of N250,000 for traditional rulers in the state.
The announcement was made by the Chairman of the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Linus Nto Mba, in a message of gratitude to the governor on Saturday.
Speaking on behalf of the council’s principal officers and all its members, Mba stated that the payment of the monthly allowance would begin in December 2024.
He clarified that the N250,000 monthly stipend is separate from the N150,000 Christmas bonus recently approved by Governor Otti for over 500 traditional rulers in Abia State.
“The Council expresses gratitude that the Governor would from this month of December 2024 begin to pay two hundred and fifty thousand Naira (N250,000 ) monthly stipend to every Eze in Abia state, except the traditional rulers in Aba South, who would receive an amount different from others,” he said.
Eze MBA said a cordial relationship is existing between the traditional institution and the Governor, adding that past administrations in the State did not accord such respect to the monarchs.
He promised that traditional rulers will continue to support the Governor in eradicating criminal elements from various communities for peace and security to reign supreme.
