Veteran Nollywood Actor, Pete
Edochie, has finally received his gratuity from the Anambra state government
for his 19 years of service.
The 70-year-old actor, who
retired as the Director of Programmes at the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS)
in 1998, was on Wednesday paid his long outstanding gratuities from the office
of the Anambra state Accountant General.
He was paid alongside other
retirees including former Director General of the organisation, Boniface
Offokaja who equally retired in 1998.
After receiving his cheque, he
told journalists; "Many of us have lost hope that we will ever receive our
gratuities. Despite our meritorious service to Anambra state, successive
governments chose to neglect us. What Governor Willie Obiano has done today is
remarkable. We are praying for him because he is a compassionate
governor."
