PRP cautions Nigerian govt against tampering with workers’ pension

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) on Thursday, expressed shock at the Federal Government’s announcement of its intention to borrow from the pensions fund.

The party’s acting National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Muhammed Ishaq, made the position of the party known in a statement issued on Friday, describing the move as not only improper but a betrayal of the trust of Nigerian workers.

He said: “The decision to tap into the pension fund, which is meant to provide for the financial security of retired workers, is a clear indication of the government’s lack of vision and accountability.
