Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The leadership of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) has enjoined the Federal Government not to ignore their members in the proposed palliative scheme meant to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.<\/p>\n

The national president of NUP, Godwin Abumisi, who read out the charge on Monday in Abuja, argued that pensioners are low-income earners who are equally part of the society and, as such, will require the palliatives too.<\/p>\n

He stated: \u201cAs the Tinubu-led Federal Government unfolds plans to cushion the economic hardship that the removal of the fuel subsidy has brought upon the people of Nigeria, the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, as the statutory custodian as well as the voice of Nigeria pensioners across the length and breadth of the country, wishes to categorically and unequivocally state and remind the Federal Government that pensioners must be included in the planned palliatives package, being one of the low-income earners in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no gainsaying that the removal of the fuel subsidy has further impoverished and pauperized the vulnerable Nigerian pensioners like other vulnerable groups of persons in our society, who are always struggling and battling for survival.\u201d<\/p>\n
