Pensioners in Ondo State under the aegis of Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) have commended the state governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, for prioritizing the welfare of Pensioners by paying over N4 billion arrears of gratuity owed Pensioners by past administrations in the state.

The NUP led by its Chairman, Chief Raphael Adetuwo, gave the commendation during a courtesy visit to the office of the state Head of Service, Mr Dare Aragbaiye in Akure, the state capital, on Thursday.

They also affirmed that the state government has not defaulted in the monthly payment of pension to its members since the inauguration of the Akeredolu led administration in 2017.

Speaking on behalf of the Union, its Secretary, Comrade Akin Sunday appealed to the state government to commence the implementation of the approved 33% pension increase for Pensioners which their counterparts at the federal level have been enjoying since 2014.

In his response, the state Head of Service, Mr Dare Aragbaiye charged Pensioners to join hands with the state government to block all leakages of pension fund so as to alleviate the plight of their members in the state by exposing all their members that are still collecting the pension of the dead ones among them.

Mr Aragbaiye said members of the Union should desist from colluding with serving Officers of the government who are extorting money from other Pensioners for the purpose of facilitating payment of their gratuity, saying that the state government would no longer tolerate such corruption in the system.

He said “l know that when people are retiring they contribute money to give Officers to process their gratuity and pension, this is ungodly”

He charged the Union to lead the fight against the syndicate that collect 10% from their members to process their retirement papers and fast track payment of their gratuity, adding that the body should openly condemn and expose those behind the pains being experienced by Pensioners in the state.

The HOS assured them that the state government would open a channel through which members of the Union and other concerned members of the public could expose the corruption in the state pension administration.

Honestly. Especially his willingness to manage the little funds in d state to achieve as much as possible. Repairing old official cars instead of buying new ones. Trying to cultivate cannabis to raise funds although wasn't approved. I really like his drive

If only we had people like Makinde and Akeredolu at the helm of affairs of this nation then we'll be heading towards the right direction

Many haters will troop in and call this re election strategy but believe it or not After Lagos state it is Ondo state that is working perfectly in Not only south west region but in the whole of Nigeria


God bless Aketi
God bless Ondo state
God bless Nigeria

good man good government

I fear when I over heard that some pensioners earn 8500 monthly and they wont get pay raise till they die

Nigeria is so bad now that we thank governors for payment salaries and passion. Well Thank u for paying some governors have refused to pay

The man is really trying

Kodus to the governor and his administration. Those who are the helm of affairs today should know that tomorrow they also will become pensioners. Always realize that a vibrant worker of yester years are now the so called pensioners.
These categories of workers now pensioners contributed in no small measure to the administration of the young state then. It's time to relax and enjoy the fruits of their labour and any reasonable administrator ought to honor them not despise.
Some states in the federation have taken the welfare of its pensioners with utmost consideration such states receive our Kodus too.

Good

Cool

But can't you guys comment without making reference to your numerous haters?

This man here is trying and deserves all commendation. Focus on that instead of throwing jabs at both existent and non-existent haters and then end up derailing the thread.
