The Osun State chapter of the Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM) has criticized the state government’s continued failure to pay unpaid pension and gratuity to state public service pensioners under Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
In a statement signed by its Co-ordinator, Alfred Adegoke, and Secretary, Kola Ibrahim, the group stated that the state government had neglected to pay its counterpart money for retirees’ contributory pensions since 2016, denying them their due.
DSM emphasized that the government’s stance toward retiree demands is all the more cause for retirees to continue their peaceful protests and agitations until their requests are met.
As a result, the group has called for the prompt payment of all pension arrears for contributing pension system retirees as well as gratuities for government pension scheme pensioners.
