AGITATIONS FOR NATIONAL MINIMUM PENSION OF 30,000 NAIRA

Senior citizens under the auspices of the Nigeria union of pensioners have taken a protest to the National salaries, incomes and wages commission's office in Abuja to demand for review of minimum pensions

This demand is coming few Weeks after the federal government and organised labour concluded talks on adjustment of percentage increase on the new thirty thousand naira minimum wage.

These  are some of the obvious  reasons necessitating the demand for minimum pension just like the the newly signed minimum wage for the working class

Octogenarian, Abel Afolayan and president of the Nigeria union of pensioners hold strong convictions that retirees will have their wish

This group of retirees belong to the mandatory pensioners who left service before the 2004 pension Review act which introduced the contributory pension scheme.

Those own contributory scheme have their pensions automatically adjusted with the minimum wage increase.
