The payments on the bond certificates, according to Obilana, were based on their previous service benefits prior to the start of the Contributory Pension Scheme in 2007.

He applauded the state government’s efforts to pay the contributory pension.

“The Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration’s efforts to make the contributory pension scheme a success cannot be overstated. “Continuous monthly payments have been prioritized by the state government to ensure retirees have access to their retirement bond benefits,” he said.
