Amidst the economic hardship ravaging the country, Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP) has alleged that some of its members receive as little as N450 as monthly pension.
The National President of NUP, Mr Godwin Abumisi, disclosed this on Thursday while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“In Nigeria, the government does not think about the poor people.
“Otherwise, how can pensioners in Enugu receive as little as N450 as monthly pension? We have been saying this, but it seems as if we are crying wolf, but it is a reality,” he was quoted as saying.
He added; “Sadly, the non-implementation of these salary reviews in the states has affected the corresponding increases in pensions in the various states under reference.
“The union takes exception to and disagrees with the untenable excuses by the state governments that they cannot afford the implementation and payment of the previous wage reviews”.
