There appears no respite yet for federal pensioners, as about 98 per cent of them have been reportedly denied monthly stipends for three months. The Lagos State Coordinator, Federal Concerned Pensioners, Mr. David Adodo, stated this in interview with our correspondent in Lagos. He said the affected pensioners had either been seriously underpaid, or totally denied their pensions since November last year.

This is coming barely a week after about 50 federal pensioners in Abuja protested against what they described as unholy manner with which the OHCSF was interfering in their pensions.
