Amosun, please pay our gratuities

I will like to use this medium to appeal to the governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, to please pay our gratuities. We have been on the waiting list since November 2012 without any ray of hope.

Information at our disposal is that pressure is being mounted on the Pension Bureau by some permanent secretaries who retired in 2014 and had earlier collected half of their packages to pay their balance at our own expense. For fairness and justice to prevail, we believe that payment of gratuity should be based on ‘first retired, first served’.

Some of our colleagues had died while waiting for their unpaid gratuities while those with failing health have no money to buy drugs.  I wish to use this medium to appeal to Governor Amosun to please accelerate payment of our gratuities so that we can reap the fruits of our labour.
