From Adanna Nnamani, Abuja
Pensioners on the platform of the Federal Civil Service Pensioners (FCSPB) have threatened to embark on a protest over failure of the government to pay the N25,000 wage award that was promised to them in August 2023 as a way to lessen the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.
The union, which decried the deplorable conditions of its members due to the current economic situation of the country, issued the threat at a press conference, yesterday, in Abuja.
FCSPB President, Sunday Omezi, said none of the union’s members had received a single payment to date, despite numerous attempts to enforce the wage award through letters to the ministry of humanitarian affairs.
Omezi also demanded the 2015 outstanding pension, which had been abandoned, be reviewed.
He warned if the government does not start addressing the problems, the union might be forced to take drastic actions.
