Some pensioners in Osun State on Wednesday staged a protest to demand payment of their pensions and gratuities.
This comes just a day after Governor Rauf Aregbesola confirmed that he had received N6.314bn as the second tranche of the Paris Club loan refund.
The Chairman of the forum, Mr Omoniyi Ilesanmi, who led the protest said the governor should use the money to pay the entitlements of pensioners.
He said the pensioners were being owed one-year full pension arrears and gratuities from 2008 to 2012.
Ilesanmi said, ” The governor should use the N6.314bn he just collected to pay us. He should look for money from anywhere to pay us all our entitlements.
