The problem
Ortom said he inherited seven months of unpaid salaries and about ₦70-72 billion in pension and gratuity arrears when Governor Gabriel Suswam left office in May 2015.
What was done
Ortom's administration said it reduced the pension backlog by roughly ₦38 billion over its tenure, though it did not fully clear the arrears before handing over in 2023.
