 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

LASG ORGANISES WORKSHOP ON PENSIONS LAW, URGES PROMPT REMITTANCE OF WORKERS' CONTRIBUTIONS.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

The Lagos State Civil Service Pensions Office, in collaboration with Parastatals Monitoring Office, recently organised a workshop to sensitise the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Directors of Finance & Accounts (DFAs) on the 2007 Pensions’ Law as it applies to their responsibilities on remittance of deductions of workers' contributions.


In her address during the workshop, the Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Mrs. Ajibola Ponnle, stated that the Government had contended with unending requests for bailouts on payment of Pensions and Gratuities of retirees from parastatals.


The Commissioner, who was represented at the event by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr. Abiodun Onayele, stressed that the issue of delayed remittance persisted despite full payment of subventions to agencies. He maintained that parastatals are expected to deduct workers' contributions and credit their pension accounts in accordance with the Pensions’ Law of 2007.


Mrs. Ponnle said the non-issuance of bonds to retirees years after retirement has become worrisome and embarrassing to the State Government because the administration of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu gives priority to matters affecting pensioners.


She stated that the sensitisation workshop was designed to explain the implications of default by the Agencies and ensure that, henceforth, all payments are made promptly, declaring that ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law.


Imploring all parastatals to be alive to their responsibilities in respect of remittance of pension contributions of employees, the Commissioner urged the Chief Executives and Directors of Finance and Accounts to ensure remittance of deductions in accordance with the Pension Law of 2007.
