NIGERIA Union of Pensioners (NUP), Oyo State chapter, has debunked the recent pronouncement made by the Oyo State government over allegation of financial irregularities among pensioners. The union said that it was on record that Oyo State retirees had not been verified since 2010 in spite of several calls made by the retirees to be screened, adding that they were miffed that some 196 pensioners were involved in the recent allegation of financial improriety.
This is contained in a press statement signed and made available to Saturday Tribune by the acting chairman, Pa Gbadegesin Akande and the Secretary Mr. Olusegun Abatan respectively. The association appealed to the state government to be thorough in its investigation so that the innocent would not be punished injustly, while urging the government to pay pensioners their December 2015 pension without delay.
