 FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION  PRESS STATEMENT  BINANCE FALSE CLAIM ON BRIBERY DIVERSIONARY  The Federal Government of Nigeria is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations. In a blog post that has now been published by many international media organisations, in an apparent well-coordinated public relations effort, Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian government officials who he claimed demanded $150m in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company.  This claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance. It is nothing but a diversionary tactic and an attempted act of blackmail by a company desperate to obfuscate the grievous criminal charges it is facing in Nigeria. The facts of this matter remain that Binance is being inve

SANWO-OLU APPROVES INCREASE IN MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PENSIONERS.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-

 

   The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has approved a 33% increment for all State Pensioners under the Defined Benefits Scheme (PAY AS YOU GO) with effect from the 1st January, 2020, just as he also approved the payment of a balance of 25% rent allowance for officers on GL 07 and above who had retired from May 2000 to August 2004.

The Honourable Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Mrs. Ajibola Ponnle, who disclosed this during a recent meeting with the members of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, affirmed that both the increment and payment of the arrears will take effect from September, 2020, in a bid to meet up with the harmonisation exercise for the pensioners.
She stated that Governor Sanwo-Olu, since his assumption of Office, has paid a total sum of ₦1.893Billion to Pensioners under the Defined Benefit Scheme, adding that all monthly pensions are paid as at when due without exception, despite the shortfall in revenue accruable to the State government occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to her, under the Contributory Pensions Scheme, the Lagos State Government paid over ₦21Billion as accrued pension rights to 5,354 retirees from May 2019 - August 2020, while over ₦978 Million was credited into the Retirement Savings Accounts of 405 Retirees in June 2020.
Maintaining that all retirement bond certificates for June 2020 have been released to the Pension Fund Administrators for onward transmission to beneficiaries, Ponnle reiterated that the government is determined to ensure that pensioners' rights are paid promptly while beneficiaries will continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy in the State.
The Commissioner emphasised that the present administration is passionate about retirees’ welfare and will continue to acknowledge their service to the State, hence the reason for the approval which is also geared towards cushioning the effects of the pandemic.
Recall that the State Government recently flagged off the Biometric online verification of pensioners in the State, leveraging on technology to ease the statutory audit exercise by making pensioners participate from the comfort of their homes within the country and in the diaspora. The exercise is held bi-annually to forestall financial leakages resulting from the payment of monthly pensions to deceased pensioners.
