Pensioners in Osun State have renewed appeal to Governor Gboyega Oyetola to offset their outstanding entitlements without further delay.
The state coordinator of the former civil servants, Comrade Isaac Oluwafemi made the appeal in Ilesa when he led other members to Radio Nigeria Gold FM.
The coordinator explained that efforts to make the present administration clear the twenty-nine months arrears and facilitate the insurance of bond certificate for the payment of contributory pension fund had proved abortive.
Comrade Oluwafemi claimed that more than three hundred beneficiaries were dead, while about ten thousand other pensioners were in object poverty.
In a remark, the state vice chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC , Comrade Gambi Yusuf, who described Governor Oyetola’s administration as workers-friendly, pleaded with the pensioners to exercise more patience as the efforts were being intensified for the payment of their entitlements.
Comrade Yusuf gave the assurance that the current economy crises and insecurity which brought hardship and poverty to the county would soon be over.
