Day Sanwo-Olu put smiles on faces of retirees in Lagos

Thursday, July 4, 2024, will remain a historic day in the lives of retirees in Lagos State. It was a day the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, ended the pain and long days of waiting by retirees for payment of outstanding pension benefits after retirement from public service in the Centre of Excellence. Lagos State achieved a significant milestone in pension administration on Thursday by being the first state to clear all pension arrears.

Governor Sanwo-Olu presented pension bond certificates totaling N4.5 billion to 2,000 retirees at the 105th Retirement Benefit Bond Certificate Presentation ceremony hosted by the Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC) at Oregun in Lagos.
