Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reaffirmed the Lagos State Government’s commitment to the prompt payment of pensions to retired civil servants, stressing that service to the state does not lose its value after officials leave office.
In a statement shared via the governor’s X handle on Friday, the assurance was given during a meeting with the leadership of the Association of Lagos State Retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries, led by Otunba Nurudeen Ojora Adejiyan and Mrs. Dr. Abeke Taire.
Addressing the delegation, the governor commended the retirees for their years of dedicated service, describing them as individuals who made significant contributions to the development of Lagos State.
He noted that the government has consistently fulfilled its obligations by ensuring pensions are paid as and when due, adding that the policy is rooted in the conviction that no retiree should have to worry about delayed payments after a lifetime of public service.
