AGGRIEVED Nigeria Postal Service, NIPOST, pensioners, Wednesday, shut
down all post office operations in Lagos over 69 months unpaid pension
arrears and gratuities, lamenting that no fewer than 421 of them had
died for lack of money to take care of their medical and other needs.
The protesting pensioners most whom were retired in 2006, demanded
immediate sack of the Post Master General, PMG, and the Accountant
General, AG, of the Federation for allegedly deceiving them for several
months.
Speaking on behalf of the pensioners, Comrade Joseph Fajemilusi, a
member of the Pensioners Board of Trustees, who led others to cripple
operations at Ikeja Post Office, said the pensioners were tired of being
treated like semi human beings.
