It's been reported that about 14 ministers, who served in the administration of Goodluck Jonathan will not receive any severance package from the current government.
According to The Nation, the ex-ministers that may forfeit their severance package are said to have spent less than two years in office and did not qualify for the package.
A source told the Newspaper that President Muhammadu Buhari's administration has stuck to the implementation of the terms of appointment.
A clause in their appointment letters reads in part: “Severance Allowance of 300 %of Annual Basic Salary payable after full tenure of office with government. The allowance will be pro-rated after a minimum of two years tenure.”
Affected ex-Ministers are Senator Musiliu Obanikoro (Lagos)-Minister of State for Foreign Affairs II; Mr Kenneth Kobani (Rivers)-Minister of State for Trade and Investment; Patricia Akwashiki (Nasarawa)-Minister of Information; Nicholas Akise Ada (Benue)- Minister of State for Foreign Affairs I; Augustine Akobundu (Abia)- Minister of State for Defence; Fidelis Nwankwo (Ebonyi)-Minister of State for Health; Hauwa Lawan (Jigawa)-Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs and Senator Joel Danlami Ikenya (Taraba)-Minister of Labour and Productivity.
Others are Mr Benjamin Osita Chidoka (Aviation); ex-Governor Ibrahim Shekarau (Minister of Education); Steve Oru (Minister for the Niger Delta); Prince Clement Adeyeye (Minister of State for Works); and Abdul Bulama (Minister of Science and Technology) and Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Suleiman(National Planning).
According to the source, “The affected ex-ministers have been notified that they are not entitled to severance package in whatever form. “They have not met the official requirements for severance package and they won’t get it.
