The commendation was noted in a statement jointly signed by the union’s chairman, Osuntade Ayoade, and the secretary, Olusegun Abatan, on Wednesday in Ibadan.
“We wish to inform our revered members that the governor has announced a pension review for pensioners. The least paid pensioners will now earn N25,000,” the statement said.
It added that the least paid pensioner in the state, before the review, earned N1,000.

“The consequential adjustment to pension in 2019, 20 per cent on pension across the board and part of N32,000 pension increase across the board. Payment of the review takes effect from January 2025 payment,” the statement explained.
