This was contained in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja and signed by the spokesman, Comrade Bunmi Ogunkolade.
The union which is an affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and oversees the welfare of pensioners identified the governors as Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode; Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun; and Jigawa State Governor, Abdullahi Badaru.
The others are Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong; Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, and Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam.
NUP said the six governors will receive award of excellence in recognition of their role in the welfare of pensioners at its 10th quadrennial delegate conference scheduled for next Wednesday when they will elect leaders that will pilot the affairs of the union for the another four years.
Ogunkolade said the governors have prioritised pensioners’ welfare and deserved the honour being conferred on them.
He said pensioners in the country would hold the conference to assess what the future holds for the contributory pension scheme and also set agenda for the federal government.
The conference is also intended to resolve how to tackle state governors who have deliberately refused to offset pension liabilities to the senior citizens.

DeleteYes ooo very well deserved! I sight my governor. 'Respeck' and Wehdon Sir!
ReplyDeleteOgun state ke😯😯there is a mistake. NLC should better investigation.
ReplyDeleteI wonder too o
DeleteEven the ones he paid were short paid.
None from the South South States.... people from those states need to make their leaders accountable.
ReplyDeleteDespite collecting oil money, a whole Niger/Delta state for that matter
Delete*Larry was here*
They won't. They will rather blame everyone else (yorubas & hausas) for their woes and keep supporting the very ones who have sucked them dry, all in the name of 'tribe'.
DeleteThey deserve what they get.
Oh lalalaaaaa
DeleteUdom Emmanuel I dey find your name i no see...what happened?? shebi u dey talk say u ain't owing any worker or pensioners..it's okay. kwantinue
ReplyDeleteits a shame that none of the governors of the core oil producing states have been able to settle their pensioners. big shame indeed. And before the voltrons being to chatter, I actually happen to come from one of these states. its a huge disgrace.
ReplyDeleteHuge disgrace,bayelsa state is the worst smh
DeleteBayelsa state is a bag of disgrace na. You need to see the indigenes jubilating. 8 served in that state, you need to see them singing praises to Seriake as if he tie their destiny for him backyard
DeleteEven though Akwa Ibom state governor, Udom Emmanuel has turned the state into a dark place at night by refusing to on street lights especially around Idoro,Itam and Ikot Ekpene thereby encouraging crime. At least we are happy enough that he pays salaries promptly.
ReplyDeleteThat's good
ReplyDeletePensioners in Lagos dey enjoy pass they will call to wish you happy birthday and also give your gifts at least my mum collects gifts since 4years now #itesiwajuEko #AmbodeisWorking
ReplyDeleteTalking about pension, Rochas is a debtor in fact, he's name should be Rochas Debtor Onyewayo Okorocha.
ReplyDeletehahahaha Sandy, until he reduce his weight, i will not stop.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW MY STATE GOVERNOR CAN NEVER BE PART OF THEM, BECAUSE HIS NAME IS EVEN A MISTAKE IKPEAZU MEANING AT THE BACK, IF YOU GO TO ABA YOU WILL TAKE OFF IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE OF BAD ROAD, DIRTY ENVIRONMENT, BLOCKED DRAINAGES AND LACK OF SECURITY. THEY CALLED IT "GOD'S OWN STATE" GOD'S OWN STATE BAWOOOOOOOOOOOOO? FROM ORJI UZO KALU TO, THEO ORJI THE BIGGER THIEF TO THIS HYPOCRITICAL IKPEAZU BACKWARD. IF YOU GO TO OTHER EASTERN STATES YOU WILL UNDERSTAND BETTER THAT ABIA IS MOST AWKWARD IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT AND GOOD GOVERNANCE. I AM SO VEXED THE CALIBER OF HUMAN BEING BEING ELECTED IN THAT STATE IS VERY ABSURD.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right

ReplyDeleteI knew my evil governor won't make that list. Imagine owing my father for 14months and my mom for 8months. Governor Okowa won't know peace for the suffering he's making people go through.
ReplyDeleteAmen!!! Okowa has brought nothing but pains and tears to deltans. I heard he has stopped paying bursary too.It's a huge shame! Even James Ibori, the infamous thief did better
DeleteRochas is owing far more....... 44 months and more. ...

ReplyDeleteWillie my governor may God continue to bless you immensely. My prayers is always with you and your family. Keep doing the good work.
ReplyDeleteGod bless our able governor His Excellency Akinwunmi Ambode.Eko for show.
ReplyDeleteRochas was exchanging words with this same Willie people are commending like this?
ReplyDeleteInukwa!
How did Ogun state make the list? He hasn't even paid pensioners gratuity for years. my mum retired in 2014 and hasn't received her gratuity. Recently, he even said he will deduct some amount of money from those that have received their gratuity to pay for government expenses. And he will also deduct from those that have been paid their gratuity from their monthly pension.
ReplyDeleteAnambra state is oweing my sick mum 1year 1 month pension which I strongly belief the woman in their zone head is the one with the money. Pls does anyone know how I can about the retrieval of that money.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
