The labour unions said, 'We are talking of over N40billion unremitted deductions. The government all together owed over 160 months.
Organised labour unions in Ogun State on Tuesday, threatened industrial action over failure of the state government to remit over N40bn contributory pensions deducted from the workers’ salaries in the last 15 years.
The labour unions said that despite setting up a committee on this contentious issue in October 2022, the government of Governor Abiodun has refused to make the report of this committee public. “Former Governor Gbenga Daniel owed 25months before he left office. Ex-governor Ibikunle Amosun paid just only 9months out of his eight-year tenure, while Governor Dapo Abiodun has not paid a dime since he came into office in 2019”.
The letter partly reads, “Having thoroughly and objectively assessed the entire Contributory Pension Scheme routes from its legislation, implementation vis-a-vis its current position, one cannot but hold the conclusion that we are fully set for industrial unrest in the State Civil/Public Service.“To the best of our knowledge, the state has maintained its unencouraging showing on the scheme with a rather disturbing trend that nothing has changed, really.
“Fact is that the scheme has not fared better in the state and our worries that the humongous unremitted deductions in the last fourteen years plus, no doubts, poses obviously, as that daunting debts that even a welfarist state would have some measure of restraints in an attempt to offset it.
