The Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP)
and the Federal Civil Service Pensioners (FCSP) held a reconciliatory
meeting in Abuja aimed at strengthening the position of the federal
pensioners in NUP’s activities.
The two groups have been at loggerheads
on whether FCSP should be autonomous or if it should be embedded in NUP,
thereby closing any distinction between the two bodies.
But federal pensioners argued that granting them a degree of autonomy under the leadership of the NUP will create efficiency in the management of their affairs due to the peculiar challenges they faced.
The meeting, was chaired by Deputy President of NUP Alhaji Dallatu Ayuba and attended by state coordinators of FCSP, agreed that the demands of the federal pensioners should be tabled before the central working committee of NUP for consideration.
A leader of the federal pensioners Sunday Omezi who facilitated the meeting, said it will bring fresh hope to FCSP to enable it assume its rightful place.
