The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commenced the move to stop the payment of pension to ex-governors and their deputies.

He made his intention known on Tuesday in a bill submitted to the state house of assembly.

While the details of the development are still sketchy, the senior special assistant to the governor on new media, Jubril Gawat, confirmed the development on Twitter.

“Governor of Lagos State, Mr @jidesanwoolu has announced his intention, through executive bill, to repeal the public office holder (Payment of Pension Law 2007), which provides for payment of pension & other entitlements to former governors and their deputies,” he wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the payment of huge amounts as entitlements to former governors in the country has been a national discourse with many saying such is waste of public funds.

All efforts to reach Mr Gawat to seek more information on the development, proved abortive.
