The Lagos State Government has begun the process of paying the pension of a retired local government worker, Michael Odesanya, after a Saturday PUNCH report highlighted his plight over delayed retirement benefits.
Odesanya, a former Chief Administrative and Human Resources Officer, Kosofe Local Government, told our correspondent on Saturday that the government had finally issued an approval letter for his retirement, signalling the commencement of the payment of his benefits.
In the report published on August 9, 2026, Odesanya had lamented the delay in receiving his retirement benefits, as the government had not acknowledged his retirement five months after his retirement.
He said the development had left him struggling financially after years of service to the state.
