The Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP) has praised President Muhammadu Buhari for the early payment of their August pension allowance.



He said the early release of the allowance enabled them to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir happily.

Mr Actor Zal, the General Secretary of the union, said this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.

“We appreciate the Federal Government for harkening to the voice of the union by acting fast to ensure that our people have a very happy sallah celebration.

“The prayer of all Nigerian pensioners will abide with him,” the statement quoted Zal as saying.

The union also commended the Pension Trust Administration (PTAD) for ensuring that the payment was made.

He, however, reminded the President of the arrears of the 33 per cent pension increment, which had not been paid since 2010.

He said, “ For the umpteenth time, we use this opportunity to appeal to Mr President to direct the ministry of finance to begin payment of the outstanding arrears.”

Zal said the outstanding arrears had accumulated into 18 months for civilian pensioners and 39 months for police pensioners. (NAN)

Fayose: the only stand-up guy of the thirty six

Coming from a fayose bootylicker. I sure know your type.

You looked in the mirror and saw sycophancy of course.

Nice one by the Buhari led Government. Happy celebrations and holidays.

Your rights thats what you are praising someone for. Shows how backwards this dung heap really is

Mediocrity.

So if i'm a public servant in Nigeria all I need to do to receive praise is to avoid performing my duties them for awhile then carry them out at the right moment.
That's all, you'll receive praise and thanks for doing your duty, your obligation, what you get paid millions to do.

Sorry Nigeria.
