As the economic hardship in the country persists, pensioners in Osun State are groaning over the high cost of living as they prepare for the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
According to them, inflation in the country has significantly reduced their purchasing power as they patronise the same market as those who are still working.
They appealed to President Bola Tinubu to address the economic hardship to make life a bit more bearable for them and Nigerians as a whole.
The Chairman of the National Union of Pensioners in the state, Alhaji Olasunkanmi Salau, commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for prompt payment of pension and charged him to do more for pensioners.
