Pensioners demand separate ministry under Tinubu government

Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) has called on the President-elect, Senator Bola Tinubu, to create a ministry that will be saddled solely with the responsibility of addressing the plights of retirees in the country

The South-West zone of NUP made the call after its quarterly meeting in Abeokuta on Thursday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the meeting was attended by chairmen and secretaries of NUP from Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Lagos and Ekiti states.

Speaking with newsmen after the meeting, the Zonal Public Relations Officer of NUP in the zone, Olusegun Abatan, said that the creation of the ministry would turn the fortunes of pensioners around in the country.
