The Ondo State Government has been commended by retirees for its handling of pension payment.
The Federal Government has thus been advised to adopt the strategy of the state government in the payment of federal pensioners
The South-West chapter of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners said these on Monday in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The body said that adopting the Ondo State model would eliminate the high level fraud being perpetrated by federal officials in the pension payment process.
The union also urged the Federal Government to use the money and properties confiscated during the pension probe to pay the outstanding pensions of federal retirees.
Its Coordinator, Chief Eni Olotu, who made the position of the union known, said the Dr. Olusegun Mimiko-led administration in Ondo State has made the payment of pension easy.
