Ekiti University Pensioners Seek Governor's Intervention Over Unpaid Entitlements
WHY IT MATTERS
Unpaid pensions strain retirees’ livelihoods and signal gaps in state pension administration, prompting a call for swift government action to maintain trust and ensure financial security for former university employees.
What happened
Pensioners from the Ekiti State University Teaching Institute (BOUESTI) have formally appealed to Governor Kayode Oyebanji for urgent action on unpaid pensions, gratuities, and other entitlements.
The group cited severe hardship caused by the delays and requested the governor’s intervention to resolve the outstanding payments.
The appeal highlights the ongoing issue of delayed pension disbursements for state university retirees and underscores the need for timely government response to uphold contractual obligations to former staff.
