Governor Adeleke Approves ₦3.3 Billion for Osun Retirees
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.
His unwavering dedication to improving the lives of all citizens, especially retirees, reflects his long-standing passion for service and his genuine care for the people of Osun State.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
