The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Borno has said some retirees in the state were still being paid N4,000 monthly as pension.
The NLC chairman, Yusuf Inuwa, revealed this in a recent address in Maiduguri to commemorate the 2024 May Day celebration.
He called for an upward review of the pension to improve retirees’ social and economic well-being.
He said: “Your Excellency, we wish to table before you that at this moment, there are some pensioners who are still receiving N4,000 as pension per month, which is grossly inadequate.
“We, therefore, pray for His Excellency’s intervention for upward review of the monthly pension.”
Also, he called for implementation of the national minimum wage, payment of outstanding leave, and provision of transport grants to local government employees in the state.
He noted the workers’ commitment to the state government’s transformation agenda and commended Governor Babagana Zulum’s administration for the “feat” achieved in workers’ welfare.
