The Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), South-West Zone, has threatened to drag state governments to court over their failure to implement approved pension increases and other outstanding entitlements, despite repeated ultimatums. While lamenting worsening insecurity and economic hardship in the country, Abatan commended the Federal Government for showing greater commitment to pensioners’ welfare compared to many state governments. He also appealed to NUP members in the South-West to remain united, while raising concerns over internal disputes in Ekiti State. “Apart from Ekiti State, where some dissidents have formed an association not recognised by law, there is unity across the zone. He reaffirmed the NLC’s commitment to pensioners’ welfare, stressing that the labour centre would continue to push the demands of retired workers alongside those of the active workforce.
