Amidst poor pension and unpaid benefits to the nation’s senior citizens, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has demanded an immediate upward review of minimum pension in line with Section 173 of Nigeria’s Constitution.
While lamenting the plight of pensioners in the country at the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting, President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba, a few days ago, contended that the nation’s constitution clearly demanded for a review of minimum pension every five years.
According to him: “We are also mindful of national minimum pension for our pensioners. Section 173 of Nigeria’s Constitution demands review of minimum pension every five years. This must be dutifully complied with.”
