Oyo Retirees Threaten Protest Over University Pension Dispute

Pensioners in Oyo State, Nigeria, have issued a threat to initiate an indefinite protest targeting two state-owned institutions.

The planned demonstrations are directed at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital and Emmanuel Alayande University. The retirees allege that the authorities of both institutions have defied directives issued by Governor Seyi Makinde regarding the payment of pension benefits.

The dispute stems from unresolved pension obligations, with union leaders expressing frustration over the failure to implement agreed-upon payments and benefits.
