Pensioners in Imo state, Nigeria | | Author Name : | | | OPARA, OGUCHIALU U, EBOH, EMMANUEL A. (Ph.D) | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | It is worrisome that collective bargaining agreement failure in
the country is very rampant and glaring. The main root cause of its
failure is fundamentally the character of the political leadership in the
state. Observed, the neglect of the pensioners by the state government is
in a desperate plight. These are senior citizens of the state that are
being treated with levity, and scaring effects are indebtedness,
economic insecurity, misery, poverty, hunger, sickness and untimely
death. This scenario is as such, these senior citizens having being
exploited and alienated. The study used an empirical research through
Focus Group Discussions’’ (FGD) that analyzed the desperate plight of
the pensioners. Random sampling method was applied to select
pensioner participants from the three senatorial political zones in Imo
state, each from the local government area. Also, purposive sampling
technique was used to select two employees still serving in the state
civil service ministries/ parastatals, and one politician each from the
five active political parties (APC, PDP, AD, UPP, and APGA) in the
state that participated in Focus Group Discussions. The FGD elicited
information from the participants on the state government neglect of
the pensioners. Besides, the study applied account method to analyses
the socio- economic consequences of the neglect, and some
recommendations were made. | | Keywords : | | | Government, Collective Bargaining, Pensioners,
