PTAD urges calm as pension protest brews, unions shun unrest

The pension agency boss, Tolulope Odunaiya, called an emergency sit-down with union leaders after some group of retirees threatened to stage a protest where they would strip naked to make their point. She laid out what the directorate already delivered, like the 32000 naira minimum wage bump and getting 45 billion naira allocated for backpay.

Odunaiya said the 25000 naira relief payment everyone keeps asking about falls under the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry and not her department but confirmed they are checking on it. Union heads from NUP and FEPPPAN said they want nothing to do with the planned demonstration and pushed members to work through official channels instead of wilding out in the streets.
