The Chairman of the Local Government Pensioners Association of Nigeria, (LOGPAN) Ogun State branch, Chief Sikiru Ayilara has frowned at the insistence of Governor Dapo Abiodun to continue paying the sum of Five Hundred million naira (₦500m) on a quarterly basis in an effort to clear the backlog of outstanding gratuity.
Chief Ayilara stated that it was inhuman for the governor to insist on spreading the outstanding payment across thirty-four years (34), lamenting that the majority of the pensioners may not live to receive their sweats of thirty-five (35) years.
“We thank our governor for the payment but we don’t appreciate it because if you divide sixty-eight billion naira outstanding with five hundred million naira every three months, it will take thirty-four years and that was when he resumed office in 2019.
