The fund approved is undergoing due process at the Bureau of Public Service Pension and the Local Government Staff Pension Board.
“It should be noted that this approval is apart from the regular monthly payment of pension and gratuities to retired public servants under the old pension scheme across the whole gamut of the public service.
“It will be recalled that workers and pensioners welfare top the 5- point Action Plan of Governor Ademola Adeleke – led administration in the State. The Governor has been keeping with this promise since he came on board in November, 2022 going by his unhindered love for public servants and the entire citizens of the State.”
