Pensioners laud Makinde over payment of N3.2 billion gratuitiesThe Oyo State House of Assembly yesterday urged Governor Seyi Makinde to urgently constitute the Amotekun Corps, the state security agency network, to stem insecurity in the state. The House emphasised that the call became imperative to check the nefarious activities of criminal herdsmen who recently invaded some parts of the state. The Speaker, Adebo Ogundoyin, stressed that the sooner Amotekun Corps was constituted, the better for the state in terms of security. Meanwhile, pensioners in the state have lauded the governor for the payment of gratuities to retirees in the state. The pensioners, under the aegis of Nigeria Union of Pensioners, Oyo State Council, chided the non-payment of gratuities and pensions by the past government accumulating to N26 billion.
