For the seventh time in a spate of six months scores of retirees have protested in Minna, the Niger State capital, asking the state government to pay their pensions and gratuities some of which had been outstanding for 11 years.

At the meeting, the representatives of the pensioners were assured that “something will be done” about the demands and “we will get back to you within one week.”
