NLC demands pension adjustment for Kwara retirees

The Kwara State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to review pensions in line with the N30,000 minimum wage. The NLC made the appeal in a letter dated January 25 addressed to the governor by its Chairman, Comrade Issa Ore. Ore drew the attention of the governor to a letter sent to the Labour House by the pensioners on the minimum wage consequential adjustments. He said: “It is an established protocol that each time there is an adjustment/ upward review in the salaries and wages of workers, there shall be an upward review of pension of pensioners. “We hereby request His Excellency to direct the negotiation committee to expedite actions on the review of pensioners’ monthly stipends to reflect the new minimum wage signed into law by you.”
