A cousin sent me this. Please Governor Sanwo-Olu should do something

I usually want do this but it is becoming a burden that has to get off my chest as seeing my neighbors suffer daily for bread has become something I cannot sit back and watch.

My neighbor retired from the Lagos state civil service about 3 years ago and ever since then it has been hell and a struggle for them to feed or even pay school fees of their children. I inquired why they are having such challenged as their father was a civil servant and he should at least get his pension (f not lump sum, in quotes) and was told the Lagos state government for sone years have not paid pensions.

One of his mates who also retired around the same time got sick, got worse and died. The deceased's wife also died in the ensuing troubles. I don't want to lose my neighbor or his wife.

I don't want his children (who I am friends with) to drop out of school or have to have the fear or not being able to afford tuition and hunger reduce how their performance. It is unfair to have people work for decades and when they should retire from the highest work they have some, they are denied the entitlement that will ease their life.

Please our senior citizens need help Lagos should not be owing these people.

Please help me post this. You can be saving a life

Next week

It is true

Some retirees in Lagos State have pleaded with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to collect federal government bailout funds or borrow to clear their outstanding payments.
They made the plea during a meeting with the governor on Monday.
The governor was represented by the Head of Service, Akeem Muri-Okunola. At the meeting were permanent secretaries, officials of the Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC), Lagos State Association of Retirees, and Pension Fund Administrators.
Michael Adeyemo, the chairman of the association of retirees, said the major grievance of their members is the non-payment of their pensions and gratuities since 2015.
“The retirees have not been receiving anything for four years, that is 48 months, little wonder many of us have become a ghost of our real self,” he said.
Mr Adeyemo said the non-payment of their entitlements had made many unable to pay fees of children in higher institutions and others bedridden or rendered homeless.

They are all fake news. My mum retired since 2016 and has not received a kobo as pension. I asked her last week and the story is still the same. They're coming. God must specially punish people who are withholding pensioners benefits in Lagos cause I see it as sheer wickedness
