The organized labour unions in Ogun State have threatened industrial action over the failure of the government to remit over 40 billion naira contributory pensions deducted from the workers’ salaries in the last 15 years.
This was contained in a letter to Governor Dapo Abiodun and jointly signed by the Trade Union Congress, Nigeria Labour Congress and Joint Negotiation Council in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The unions explained that the government altogether owed over 160 Months, which, Former Governor Gbenga Daniel owed 25 months, Ex-Governor Ibikunle Amosun only paid 9 months out of his eight-year tenure while Governor Abiodun had not paid since he came to office in 2019.
They added that the government had equally failed to pay its counterpart contribution of 7.5% of each worker’s salary making a total of 15% to the PFA.
The labour unions maintained the Civil servants were eager to know their fate before 1st July 2025, while appealing to the state government to make public, the report of the committee on the Contributory Pension Scheme that was set up on the issue in October 2022.
