My wife died chasing nine-month retirement benefits from Ogun – Retiree
Retired head teacher Charles Ogunbanwo described how his wife Hannah, a passionate leader among retirees, died on October 16 after two surgeries while leading demands for their under-calculated retirement benefits from the Ogun State Government. Their agitation, including rallies and legal steps, resulted in the calculated benefits rising from about N4m to N15m, but the government insisted on the Contributory Pension Scheme instead of the Defined Benefit Scheme they sought.
