The General Secretary of the union, Peters Adeyemi, who stated this in Abuja, said with the politicking expected to hit a feverish level later this year, the government is unlikely to be interested in implementing the agreement.
He expressed displeasure at the insensitivity of both the states and Federal Government saying, social intervention programmes put in place by the Federal Government, have failed to make noticeable impacts on the standard of living of the people. NASU explained that if fully implemented, the contributory pension can end the miseries of retired workers.
He added: “We know that the states have quite a sizeable number of employees and some of the states have not keyed into the contributory pension scheme and where they have keyed into the scheme, they have refused to do the needful. They deduct money from the workers and refuse to remit the fund. One of the main challenges confronting the scheme is the employers that deduct these funds from workers’ salaries and refuse to remit into the Retirement Saving Account of the workers.
