Sanwo-Olu: We Have Cleared All Pension Backlog In Lagos by Lanrelagboi(op): 11:55pm On Jul 04, 2024
Today, we effectively cleared all pension backlog in Lagos State with the payment of ₦4,461,659,536.82 to 2,000 retirees.

In February, we paid ₦3.1 billion to 1,013 retirees with a promise to settle all arrears and current pension liabilities and that promise has been fulfilled today.

Since the inception of this administration, we have paid a sum of ₦68,164,627,407.21 into the Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs) of retirees in the Mainstream, Local Government, State Universal Basic Board (SUBEB), Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and other Parastatals of the State Government. We are very happy with this achievement.

Employees of the Lagos State Government who retire from the civil service will now get their full pension benefits and gratuity immediately after retirement as Lagos State continues to lead in pension benefits administration with a Pay As You Go template.

Prioritizing the welfare of our retired workers is not just an obligation, it is a commitment we must fulfil in order to shape our legacy as a state.

We also launched a Health Insurance Scheme tailored specifically for our retirees. This scheme will provide access to a wide range of medical services, from routine check-ups to specialised treatments.

This initiative underscores our commitment to the well-being of our retirees, while ensuring that they receive not only what is due statutorily but also additional support and assistance to enhance their lives in retirement.

Well done to the DG of the Lagos State Pension Commission, Mr. Babalola Obilana and his team for their continued dedication and professionalism.

And not paying staff salaries. It's so bad that hospitals are shutting down over unpaid salaries.

Pensioners deserve this.
Re: Sanwo-Olu: We Have Cleared All Pension Backlog In Lagos by Ibrahimcoomasie:
Whereas in a particular state in the same southern Nigeria, it can't even pay salary that hospitals are now shutting down e.g. but na so so propaganda dem dey take disturb is for social media.

He's either happy or sad , but for sure, pensioners are very excited

Certainly one or more of your friends (Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode) or even you owed those pensions. How did that even happen considering the IGR Lagos boasts of, if not wickedness.
Imagine owing 2,000 retirees for only God knows how long. Some would have been dead.

It is not an achievement. It is simply your obligation as a debtor to pay the people you owe.
Re: Sanwo-Olu: We Have Cleared All Pension Backlog In Lagos by IamCookie(f):
I knew that was the intent as soon as they moved all pensioners verification details to LASPEC. A big kudos to our ' talk and do ' governor . Reasonable Nigerians are proud of you.
LAGOS... the difference is clear!

Shameful to say that Lagos is owing pensions
Re: Sanwo-Olu: We Have Cleared All Pension Backlog In Lagos by Energist: 12:38am On Jul 05, 2024
Good one. It's an abnormality for Lagos State to owe pensions and gratuities. By the way, is there any state that has less than a year backlog for its pensioners?

LOL! But if Abia/Otti does it, it will be an achievement right?
Re: Sanwo-Olu: We Have Cleared All Pension Backlog In Lagos by LegalWolf: 12:57am On Jul 05, 2024
There is NO doubt that Sanwo-Olu is the best Governor in Nigeria. Otti, Bago, Uba, Seyi or any other governor wheresoever (including my governor - Ramoni) cannot lace his shoes.

Please don't tell me paying salaries/pension or building roads is not an achievement... Don't even dare!!!!
Re: Sanwo-Olu: We Have Cleared All Pension Backlog In Lagos by haybhi1(m):
Sanwo-Olu, no 1.
Seyi Makinde, no 2.

GRV or CRV for don sink Lagos treasury just like Otti is running wild in Abia State giving them lamba while funding Pandora fraudster's travels and his reckless lifestyle from Abia's allocation.

Agulu outcast has been quiet lately, Abi Dem block his x account or microphone has been taken away from him
