Oyo state pensioners on Wednesday stormed the Governor’s office at the government secretariat Ibadan over prompt payment entitlements.
In a massive crowd seen on twitter, Governor Seyi Makinde reiterated his commitment towards adequate and timely payment of salaries and pensions.
Recall that insideoyo.com had earlier reported that the state pensioners hailed the government for prompt payment of June pension arrears.
Insideoyo.com reports that prompt payment of salaries and pensions are part of Governor Seyi Makinde’s campaign during election.
“We met with our pensioners who came to show appreciation that our administration has been paying their pensions on time.
“As I said last Saturday, the government is not doing civil servants and pensioners a favour by paying their entitlements on time, as it is their right,” Makinde said in a tweet seen by InsideOyo.com.
