The Nigeria Union of Pensioners, South-west Zonal Council, says it will take legal action against the governors in the region over non-compliance with the constitutional provision on pension increment.
The union said it would take the action, if by November 30, the pension increment of 33.4 per cent and consequential adjustment of pension 2019 were not addressed. The union, also said it had written letters to the governors in the region on the decision of its meeting held on Sept.16 to take the governors to court, if they failed to implement the pension increments.
“This has led to inappropriate pension payment with some pensions earning as little as N330 per month in some states even here in the South-West.“This infraction has resulted in poverty, debilitating diseases and even deaths among scores of our pensioners,” the union said.It said that only Lagos and Ondo State Governments in the South-West region had implemented the 33.4 per cent pension increase of 2010, while Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ogun had not.
