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.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
