The governor’s request was contained in a letter read at the plenary of the assembly by the speaker, Sheriff Oborwvwori, in Asaba, however, governor Ifeanyi Okowa made it known that part of the loan would be tailored towards taking care of outstanding pension commitments to the state and local government areas pensions in the contributory pension scheme, amounting to N20 billion and N10 billion, respectively.
