Pensioners in Nigeria-those who are still alive- are still contending with the nonchalant attitude of Government at all levels when it comes to issues pertaining to their pension funds.
As the situation persists, the Federal Government is now tinkering with the idea of borrowing 2 Trillion Naira from the 10 Trillion Naira pension funds for infrastructural development.
This has only served to expose the worrisome financial position of the Federal Government, which could be attributed to the activities and resolution of the increasing number of below average appointees in government.
Most questionable policies of government at all levels are pointers to the fact that governance is near the brink of collapse, if activities in several states of the federation are anything to go by.
In serious minded and focused economies, the process of appointing policy makers is meticulous, detailed, intensive and exhaustive. This is not the case in Nigeria.
The hidden facts revolves on the helplessness of those in charge of governance, when confronted with the identified limitations and visible impediments to good governance.
Of worry is that fact that hundreds, if not thousands, of retirees are yet to receive their gratuities since 2012.
