No fewer than 1,126 local government education authority pensioners have lost their lives over a two-year period in Kwara State while waiting for the payment of their pensions.

The pension arrears have now accumulated to over N50billion, according to a statement by Alhaji Isiaka Akanbi and Alhaji Saidu Oladimeji, the association’s chairman and secretary respectively.

The pensioners say the non-payment has been due to the “deliberate negligence” of government to their plight, against the assurances by the state governor.

A top union source, who craved anonymity, disclosed that not less than 1,126 pensioners have lost their lives between January 2015 and February, 2017 following the refusal of the state government to pay their pensions, which prevented the many of the deceased from accessing quality healthcare.
