Sanwo-olu urges Civil servants not to donate their Pension to Church or Mosque
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has advised retirees against donating their pension to churches and mosques under the guise of thanksgiving or tithe.
He emphasized the importance of using pension funds to address family needs instead. Sanwo-Olu made these remarks during the 105th batch retirement bond certificate presentation ceremony for retirees in the state.
He underscored that the prompt payment of pensions reflects the Lagos State government’s steadfast dedication to its retirees.
According to Sanwo-Olu: “This is not meant to solve all family problems. It is about you, what you have earned and worked for.
“When they say they want to build a church or mosque and ask you to come out to pledge N3m, don’t do that. God will give you the wisdom to act, Sanwo-Olu has done his part.
Today, we mark the 105th Retirement Bond Certificate presentation, a historic milestone as we transition into a new era of Pension Administration called ‘Pay-As You-Go’.
“From now on, all retirees of the state government will be paid as they retire, provided all procedures and approvals have been completed before retirement.”
