"I wish to inform you that we are making progress as the government is cooperating very well on the matter. I want to assure you that there is no delay tactics employed by the government and no Compromise on the part of the Union."

Comrade Omisande laid the blame of the delay at the doorsteps of the Director General of LASPEC, Mr. Babalola Obilana  for his incompetence and manipulation to deprive the Pensioners of their benefits.

According to him, Laspec was passing negative information to the government as per pensions matter in the state.  "Many revelations came up as product of the protest which call for forensic investigation and corrections."

He said the Pensioners' protest was a  great blessing to the Union and the government, as it was an eye opener to all.

'The government did what no one can do by blessing the Elderly with tear gas on the last protest day making four Pensioners fainted. Though, the government regretted the action of the Police claiming it was unilateral action by the Police force." 

Thanking the Pensioners for their efforts and understanding so far, Omisande said the Executives at both state and Zonal levels are full of appreciation  for the full support given to the Union in all ramifications.  

"We appreciate the National Chairman of the NUPCPS, Lagos state NLC, the PenCom, the Actuary, NBA, journalists, media team, Committee of Human rights Activists (CDHR), Association of the Retired Head of services and Permanent Secretaries L/S and members of the public for their support."
