Lagos spreads festive cheer with cash, hugs for pensioners

Lagos handed out cash and food to its retired workers at an event in Ikeja. The Head of Service, Bode Agoro, said the gesture shows the state remembers their service. He stated that Governor Sanwo-Olu prioritizes welfare for both current and former staff.

Multiple pensioners at the NECA auditorium called the move meaningful, saying it provided dignity and holiday support. The program runs for two days across different divisions to reach everyone. The head of the state pension commission, Babalola Obilana, told retirees they remain valued members of the public service family.

He reiterated commitments to timely pension payments and better healthcare access. Officials framed the packages as a symbol of gratitude, not just material aid. Many retirees left feeling respected, according to the state's account.
