The Lagos State Commissioner, Ministry of Establishment, Training and Pensions, Dr. Akintola Benson Oke who disclosed this during the 54th Retirement Benefit Bond Certificate Presentation at Ikeja, Lagos, said that 9,591 retirees have had accrued rights of N39.450 billion paid into their Retirement Savings Accounts in the last 37 months (August 2015 \u2013 August 2018).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Akintola affirmed that pensioners are always on the payroll priority of Lagos State every month and expressed this administration\u2019s satisfaction for clearing the backlog of pension benefits for its retired employees.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Director-General, LASPEC, Mrs. Folasade Onanuga commended the retirees for their contribution to the development of Lagos State and assured them of the State Government\u2019s commitment to their welfare in retirement. She, however, advised the retirees to spend wisely in retirement, saying \u201cAny project you know you cannot finish, don\u2019t put your money into it\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The retirees, in response, thanked the LASPEC Staff for their effectiveness and efficiency in the past years and implored the staff to keep up the good work<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
