Retired public servants in Osun State, under the Forum of 2011/2012 Retired Public Servants of Osun, have called on Governor Ademola Adeleke to comply with a court ruling mandating the implementation of an N18,000 minimum wage for retirees.
The pensioners made their demands known during a protest in Osogbo on Monday.
The protesters had gathered at Ogo-Oluwa/Abere Road but were barred from accessing the governor’s office by security personnel.
Despite this setback, the retirees vowed to continue their agitation.
According to the group, the state’s failure to implement the court order has left them short-changed for years.
Speaking to journalists, the group’s leader, Yemi Lawal, accused the Osun State Government of neglecting a ruling by the Industrial Court delivered on October 5, 2017.
