The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu on Friday announced plans to disburse N3.1 billion to more than 1000 retirees in the state next week. Sanwoolu said although, a total sum of N60 billion had been disbursed as pension to over 17,000 retirees since he came to office in 2019, his government will not relent in the quest to put smiles on the senior citizens who have made enormous contributions to the development of the state.
He said: “Next week, we’re set to disburse N3.1 billion under the Contributory Pension Scheme to over 1,000 retirees who have served our state tirelessly. Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed.
“It is pertinent to take note of the fact that in the lifetime of our administration, we have disbursed over N60 billion as pension to over 17,000 retirees. This achievement fills us with pride.
“Prioritizing the welfare of those who’ve shaped Lagos’ history is not just a commitment; it’s our legacy. Your trust is paramount, and together, we’re constructing a Lagos that champions its own.” the government posted on twitter.
Recall that in January, the Lagos State Government through the Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC), presented a total of 1.258billion Naira in accrued rights to 605 retirees in the 102nd batch bonds presentation ceremony for the month of January 2024 at Neca Auditorium, Alausa, Lagos.
