Updated March 6, 2019The Oyo State Government says it has released the sum of One Billion, Five Hundred Million Naira as part payment of outstanding gratuity and pension arrears to retired primary school teachers and local government workers in the state.
The State Government said this during a joint Press Conference involving the representatives of the State Government, the Local governments’ Chairmen, the Pensions Board, the Nigeria Union Pensioners and some of the affected pensioners at the Film Theatre, Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Secretariat, Ibadan.The Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Mr.
Abimbola said, “the resolution and the court’s pronouncement recognized that the accrued Pension and Gratuity arrears was, and remains the statutory duty and responsibility of the Local Government to pay to retirees of primary school teachers as well as the local government staff, thus the Oyo State Government never had the liability nor obligation by law and is not the one owing these arrears as being speculated in some certain quarters.
In his address, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr. Bimbo Kolade reiterated that the payment is for both deceased and living retirees, calling for maximum cooperation from the NUP so that the government efforts in alleviating the suffering of the retirees will be fruitful.
