Pay Outstanding Pensioners’, Workers’ Salaries Without Delay- Bishop Ogunbanwo Tells Governor, Dapo Abiodun
The Bishop, Diocese of Ijebu South-West, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. Dr Babatunde Ogunbanwo on Sunday, May 7 charged the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun to pay all workers’ and pensioners’ salaries without further delay.
Ogunbanwo, during his Sunday teaching at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Aiyepe-Ijebu with the theme, “Turn Your Battles to Crosses” appealed to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State to pay all outstanding deductions, gratuities and salaries owed to workers both serving and retired.
He mentioned that situation faced by the pensioners and workers as regard their pay in the state is going out of hand, as many have lost their lives without receiving their entitlement; hence the need for Governor Abiodun to address it in no time.
He said:“The situation of pensioners who have retired for long and have not received their entitlements is a cause for worry.
“Many people have died without receiving their entitlements. This is painful for many families and there is even no hope in sight for them.
“Government should take cognisance of the fact that with the economic depression in town, many workers are not able to feed, and many of our people are suffering.
“We appeal that our government look into the agitations of our people promptly without delay, and look for a way of bringing smiles to the faces of our pensioners as a matter of urgency.”
