However, investigations revealed that while federal workers and some state employees have received the six-month payment, retirees still await theirs.<\/p>\n<p>At the pensioners\u2019 headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, NUP spokesman Bunmi Ogunkolade explained that pensioners have made multiple appeals to the government through appropriate channels, but their pleas have not been addressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve written several letters to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. We\u2019ve paid different courtesy visits to the ministry to no avail. We were told that our matter was hanging because of what happened in the ministry,&#8221; Ogunkolade stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWe\u2019ve also lodged our complaints to the National Assembly. We met with the Chairman of the House Committee on Pension. We\u2019re using this medium again to appeal to them to give us the wage award and resolve the issue of minimum pension.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pending wage award, Ogunkolade acknowledged that pensioners had received a 20% pension increment in their bank accounts from January to August 2024 and thanked the federal government for this development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are using this medium to appreciate the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu for fulfilling his promise to effect a 20% increment on the monthly pension of our members. This is unprecedented,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He hoped that the remaining issues \u2014 the palliative wage award and the &#8220;minimum pension&#8221; \u2014 would soon be resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria Union of Pensioners calls on the Federal Government to fulfill its promise of a N25,000 wage award for retirees Pensioners
