A widow has appealed to relevant authorities in Kogi State to pay the death entitlement of her husband and former staff of the State House of Assembly, Suleiman Aliu, who died a year ago after a brief illness.
The widow, Mrs. Ozohu Aliu, made the call in a chat with The Graphic recently.
She stated that it has been very difficult for her and the five children her husband left behind, adding that the children have been sent out of school for not being able to pay their school fees.
Mrs. Aliu stressed further that prompt payment of her late husband’s death benefits would go along way to boost their economic status; and appealed to the relevant body to come to their aid to enable them cope with present economic hardship.
Until his death, Suleiman Aliu was an administrative staff of the Kogi State House of Assembly. He died at age of 40.
