Lagos govt promises to prioritise payment of retirees’ benefits

LAGOS State government has said that it is working assiduously to ensure that its pensioners get consistent and timely income at retirement.

The state’s Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Mrs. Ajibola Ponnle, stated this at the 23rd retirement benefit documentation seminar organised for employees due for retirement from the state’s public service between January and June 2023.

She told the retirees that the state government would prioritise the welfare of its workforce and pensioners.

“It is our expectation that the outcome of the seminar will provide you with a clear understanding of the relevant documents required for the processing of your retirement benefits under the contributory pension scheme,”
