File: Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji
Pensioners of the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti, have appealed to the Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, to urgently intervene in the payment of their outstanding pensions and other entitlements.
Their umbrella body, BOUESTI Pensioners Association, said its members were facing severe hardship following the non-payment of their August 2026 pension, while 50 per cent of the July pension had not been paid.
The association made the appeal in a letter dated September 7, 2026, made available in Ado Ekiti on Monday, signed by its Chairman, Dr Kola Ajaja, and Public Relations Officer, Alao Odeyemi, and addressed to Governor Oyebanji in his capacity as Visitor to the institution.
The pensioners stated that “the delay had subjected members to financial hardship, ill-health and, in some cases, untimely deaths, particularly as many of us depend on our monthly pensions for medication and basic welfare.” Related News Ekiti poll: Oluyede withdraws petition challenging Oyebanji’s victory Ekiti varsity pensioners demand unpaid pensions, gratuities APC chieftain greets ex-Ekiti gov on 72nd birthday
