Members of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners said they will on Friday embark on a massive nationwide protest over the failure of the government to increase their pension.
Outgoing President of the NUP, Abel Afolayan, disclosed this in Abuja at the 11th quadrennial delegate conference of the union on Wednesday.
He said his members would ground the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation during the protest.
