The Director-General of Nasarawa State Pension Bureau, Mr. Abdullahi Sani-Oseze, said on Saturday the state government has increased the minimum pension of retirees to N5, 000.

Sani-Oseze, who disclosed this in Lafia, said government made the adjustment in order to make life more meaningful for pensioners in the state.



He said some workers, who retired from active service before the implementation of minimum wage in the state, were receiving as low as N1, 000 as their monthly pension.

Sani- Oseze said: “So we consider the plight of this category of pensioners and reported to Governor Umaru Al-Makura, who directed that there should be an upward review of their pensions.

“No pensioner today in the state receives less than N5, 000 as his monthly pension.”

He said the Bureau had taken measures to address issues of some pensioners, who had not benefited from any payment since the inception of Al-Makura’s administration in 2011.

1000naira?

Excuse me?

Are You trying to tell me that when some of our old dudes say they are living on pension, that they mean 1k? Allah kiyayi!

And to think that sometimes they are not even paid for months is another...

Oh blood of extinct dinosaurs!

All makura

when u go allow us come chop for Ta'al conference hotel for free

All makura

when u go allow us come chop for Ta'al conference hotel for free

Yet we don't appreciate the western world that supposed claimed/increased our minimum daily living expense to 50cent+...N1000/30=N33 which less than 10 cents @ 360N/$!

Some states are not financially viable hence the need for some of them to be merged to have the strength to develop.

BTW what has previous administration done to better the lot of her citizens all this while?

I give up on this country.

so after wasting years in school paying lots in fees and enduring strikes. you manage to get a job that will take your life time at the end they increase retirement Levy from 1k to 5k.Nigeria is Dead and hopeless, Education system is equally dying too.

Never imagined such situation existed. Govts in dis country is useless

Can someone please confirm, that should be like N1,000/day and it has now been increased to N50,000/month.

There must be some typo and miss communication somewhere, I trust that the Nasarawa State Government value her citizens more than the originally stated pension.

One of the biggest scams in life was your mom saying she won’t get angry if you say the truth.

.

Wait OP, do u mean $1,000 or what?

And politicians earn millions


God will punish all this political thieves from federal to local

Retirees o?! My God!! That wouldn't even pay NEPA bill. Oh lawd! What about food, shelter, clothing, school fees. Smh my country my country!!

Thats why its way better to be self Employed than to depend on government jobs.. Imagine after working for like 18 years and having faced many months of unpaid salary , you retire and get paid 5k Monthly as pension ... What a pure water hawker can make in two weeks please where can apply for change of nationality

Who go pay we bloggers when we retire

I can't imagine pensioners being paid 1k ....This is heart touching oooo.....No Wonder people dey die if hunger all the time.

That's not retirement benefit, it's detirement* benefit, so to speak.


A nation that can't take good care of her senior citizens is not qualified to be a country.

Almakura the confused governor
