Osun Pensioners: Governor Adeleke is Committed to Payment of Pensions, Entitlements


OSOGBO - 24/09/2023 - Osunstate.gov.ng

The government of Governor Ademola Adeleke has reacted to the rumor of accrued pensions not paid by his government as alleged by opposition in the state, upon which some unscrupulous elements are allegedly planning a protest march. 


We want the public to note that the current government has been consistent in paying some of the accrued pensions, owed by previous governments, from inception of his administration


While we have ascertained and confirmed that the rumour of a planned protest is not true,we alert the public to the spreading of the fake news designed  to offend and confuse the contributory pensioners who are strong supporters of Governor Adeleke.


We assert that the pensioners and other stakeholders are aware of sustained efforts of the current government to pay up the inherited pensions.


It may also interest stakeholders to note that the Governor has 48 hours ago directed the hosting of an emergency consultative meeting with contributory pensioners to table full data before them and agree on a path to further payments.


Details of the meeting are to be communicated to relevant stakeholders.


Ahead of the meeting, we take liberty to release part of the records with renewed commitment of the administration to accelerate the payment process.



The records according to the Local Government Staff Pension Bureau in the state, shows that the government of Ademola Adeleke has made payment to both the contributory pensioners and old pensioners in the state, with effect from 28th November, 2022 till date.



The breakdown is as follows:


MONTHLY PENSION (Old Pension Scheme) - Three billion naira (N3 billion).


PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS - Two billion, nine hundred and sixteen million, two hundred and twenty-four thousand, three hundred and forty-one naira and thirty kobo (N2,916,224,341: 30).



LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF PENSIONERS - One billion, Sixty-two million, Four Hundred and Sixty-nine thousand, Seven hundred and Forty-three naira, Eighty-six Kobo (N1,062,469,743 : 86).



Regarding Death Benefits:

PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS - Three hundred and Twenty-four million, Two hundred and Eighty-nine thousand, Five hundred and Ninety naira, Sixty-two Kobo (N324,289,590: 62).



LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF PENSIONERS - Nine-six million, One hundred and Eighty-one thousand, Thirty-two naira, Ninety-two Kobo (N96,181,032: 92).



MONTHLY PENSION (Contributory Pension) Remittances:

PRIMARY SCHOOL - One billion, Eighty-three million,One hundred and Ninety-seven thousand,two hundred and Sixty-five naira, Thirty-six Kobo (N1,083,197,265:36).



LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF PENSIONERS - Six hundred and One million, Seven hundred and Seventy-four thousand, Thirty-two naira, Thirty-two kobo (N601,774,032:32).



PRESENTATION OF BOND CERTIFICATES:

PRIMARY SCHOOL - One billion, Nine hundred and Eleven million, Three hundred and Seventy thousand, Two hundred and Eleven naira, Forty-four Kobo (N1,911,370,211:44).



LOCAL GOVT STAFF PENSIONERS - Seven hundred and Eight million, Forty-one thousand, Three hundred and Seventy-eight naira, Ninety-seven Kobo (N708,041,378:97).



The government appreciates the Pensioners and especially the contributory pensioners  for their understanding, resilience and appreciation of the high level of commitment already shown by the   government and urge them to distance themselves from evil operatives of the previous regime who were responsible for the pension debt in the first place.



As we remind the public and pensioners that Governor Adeleke has workers welfare as a number on his agenda, we affirm that the Governor has the best interest of workers, pensioners and the public at heart and his government will therefore not under any circumstances deny retirees their due rights and privileges.



The government reiterates its commitment to the good people of Osun state, and asked that the lying opposition party be shunned, as they are mischief makers.



Signed:
