The Governor of Osun State, Senator Dr. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, has once again demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of retirees by approving a significant sum of ₦3.3 billion for the payment of accrued rights to workers who retired under the Contributory Pension Scheme.

This move highlights the governor’s consistent effort to ensure that those who served the state are rewarded for their years of service.

Breaking down the allocation, ₦1.5 billion has been earmarked for retirees at the state level, covering various Ministries, Departments, Agencies, secondary schools, and tertiary institutions.

Meanwhile, ₦1.8 billion has been allocated to local government retirees, including those who served in junior and primary schools.

These funds are currently undergoing due process at the Bureau of Public Service Pension and the Local Government Staff Pension Board, ensuring that all necessary procedures are followed for smooth disbursement.

It is important to note that this approval comes in addition to the regular monthly pension payments and gratuities that the state already provides to retired public servants under the old pension scheme.

This consistent support from the government helps sustain the livelihood of those who have dedicated their working lives to the development of Osun State.

Governor Adeleke’s administration has placed a strong emphasis on the welfare of workers and pensioners, with this being a key component of his 5-point Action Plan. Since assuming office in November 2022, he has remained steadfast in fulfilling this promise, regularly prioritizing the needs of public servants and retirees across the state.

His administration’s proactive approach has not only reinforced the government’s commitment to its workforce but has also strengthened public trust in the state’s leadership.

By making these significant strides, Governor Adeleke continues to build a legacy of compassion and accountability, ensuring that the contributions of state and local government workers do not go unrecognized.

Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, has admitted he might consider joining the coalition working to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, though he’s not in a hurry to make that decision. Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Ndume confirmed that he has attended several of the coalition’s meetings but made it clear he’s being cautious.

“I know about the opposition coalition. I’ve attended many of their meetings,” he said. When asked if the group had approached him to join them, Ndume responded, “Yes, they’ve spoken to me, but I told them no for now. I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire. I need to be sure of what I’m doing. I’m a loyal person, and I have my reasons for that loyalty.”

His comments follow reports that the opposition coalition plans to rally around the newly proposed All Democratic Alliance (ADA), which has applied for registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The coalition is believed to be led by political heavyweights like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Anambra governor Peter Obi, ex-Rivers governor Rotimi Amaechi, among others.

As President Bola Tinubu arrives in Nasarawa State today, Wednesday, to commission major projects carried out by Governor Abdullahi Sule in Lafia, the Tiv Youth Organisation (TYO) is calling for urgent action to stop the ongoing violence and killings affecting Tiv communities in the state.

During a press briefing on Tuesday in Lafia, the group’s president, Comrade Isaiah Audu, expressed deep concern over the rising attacks that have left several Tiv settlements in ruins across four local government areas. Audu described the attacks as unprovoked and deadly, adding that they have led to the loss of innocent lives, destroyed farmlands, and forced thousands of Tiv families to abandon their homes.

Additionally, he mentioned that the latest incidents took place on June 13 and June 15, 2025, affecting communities like Dooga Ayande in Doma LGA, Antsa in Keana LGA, Tse Yange in Obi LGA, and Tse Akura in Giza Area Administrative Council. Among those reportedly killed were Mr. Terfa Tswabee, Mr. Sham Kyodo, Zaki Kwaghtagher Ordue, and Teryem Aondo Apav. Many others were injured, while families continue to flee their homes in search of safety.

Audu urged President Tinubu to use his visit as an opportunity to work with security agencies and state authorities to put an end to the attacks and ensure the safety of Tiv people. “We are Nigerians too, and we deserve to live in peace on our ancestral lands without fear,” Audu stressed. “Mr. President, we are not just asking you to commission projects today; we are asking you to commission peace and justice for the Tiv people of Nasarawa.”
