The Secretary of the union in Kaduna State, Alhassan Musa, who described the condition of the retirees as pathetic, wondered why the citizens who sacrificed their lives and services for the nation should be left to suffer.
Musa, who is also the NUP scribe in charge of the nineteen Northern states and the North-West, however, said only retirees in Kaduna state were earning thirty thousand naira minimum pension monthly.
He, therefore, advocated for a fifty per cent upward review of the minimum pension, to improve the social and economic wellbeing of the retirees.
