Lagos State is to repeal public officers’ pension law that allows all former governors and deputy governors in the state to be paid pension and other benefits.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the promise during a budget estimate presentation to the Lagos State House of Assembly in Lagos on Tuesday.
“We will be sending an executive bill in a couple of weeks to this honourable house to repeal the pension law.
“This pension law is for pension paid to former public officers such as the former governors and former deputy governors
“The repeal of the act is due to the dwindling revenue to the state government’s account,” he said.
The Lagos House of Assembly passed a pension bill for erstwhile governors and their deputies.
According to this law, the governor is entitled to N30 million pension annually, a house in Lagos and Abuja, six brand new cars every three years, medical allowances in any part of the world and other allowances.
