Governor Rochas Okorocha who monitored the commencement at Imo Convention Center Owerri, said that the exercise would last one week.
The governor announced that three months of the pension would be paid this week while another three months would be paid next week.

To this end, the State Governor ordered for the arrest and detention of over twenty-five pension workers who were involved in the acts.
The exercise witnessed free medical services for the pensioners.
