Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun announced that the government has commenced full implementation of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in a bid to resolve the ongoing industrial action that has disrupted public services across.
Speaking at a meeting with labor leaders at the Governor’s Office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Mr. Abiodun said the CPS took effect on July 2, 2025.
He described the move as a decisive step toward restoring trust between the state and its workforce.
“This is not just a policy adjustment, it is a commitment to ensuring that our workers are not deprived of what is rightfully theirs,” the governor said.
The state government has also rolled out a 10-year framework to clear outstanding pension liabilities in two five-year tranches, scheduled for completion by 2035. Mr. Abiodun promised that the arrangement would be codified into law to ensure continuity beyond his administration.
In addition to the pension reform, Mr. Abiodun revealed that Ogun State would implement long-delayed promotions from 2023 and 2024.
Workers promoted in 2023 will begin receiving salary increases reflective of their new ranks in September 2025. Those promoted in 2024 will see theirs by December, three months earlier than the initial March 2026 timeline.
