Ogun pensioners protest ‘non-payment of N68bn gratuity’ (Photos)
Pensioners in Ogun, yesterday, protested the alleged non-payment of N68 billion outstanding gratuity, said to have accumulated over 10 years.
The pensioners, identified as members of the local government pensioners association (LOGPAN), blocked the two main gates to the state secretariat in Oke-Mosan.
Tokunbo Talabi, secretary to the state government (SSG), and other civil servants were said to have been unable to access the secretariat for hours.
The protesters displayed placards with various inscriptions such as ‘gratuities are on sale to pensioners’, and ‘Governor Dapo Abiodun, honour your father and treat pensioners well’.
