Pensioners in Ogun State yesterday appealed to the state Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to increase the N500 million quarterly gratuity payment to N2 billion to offset the N64.4 billion outstanding gratuities.The senior citizens under the aegis of Nigeria Union of Pensioners , Ogun State chapter, made the appeal while addressing journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The pensioners berated the governor over his alleged failure to implement the agreements signed with them in the Memorandum of Action over four months ago. He said the government also agreed to increase the quarterly release of N500million gratuities and ensure prompt payment of pension.The pensioners faulted the claim of the Abiodun-led administration of paying N3.6billion out of the inherited outstanding N68billion for the past three and a half years, insisting that the money “is not enough to defray gratuities of retirees from June 2019 to date being the tenure of the Abiodun administration.
