Pensioners in Osun State this Wednesday staged a peaceful protest at the state secretariat in Osogbo, demanding their 30 months pension arrears.
The pensioners, most of whom retired in 2016 from the state’s civil service are calling on the state governor, Gboyega Oyetola to pay their pension arrears in order to alleviate their sufferings.
Armed with placards with various inscriptions, the retirees moved around the secretariat, chanting solidarity songs. They lamented that the chunk of the unpaid arrears was owed during Rauf Aregbesola’s administration.
