Fashola Reveals His Monthly Pension from Lagos State

In a recent interview, former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola disclosed that he receives a monthly pension of N577,000 from the Lagos State Government.

The revelation came as a response to a question about his pension and benefits as a former governor of the state.

Fashola, who served as the Governor of Lagos State from 2007 to 2015, explained that the pension is in line with the Lagos State Pension Law for former governors and their deputies.

He also mentioned that he is not entitled to any additional benefits, such as housing or transportation, as some other states provide for their former governors.

The former governor emphasized that he has not received any other payments or benefits from the Lagos State Government since leaving office in 2015.

He also stated that he has no outstanding debts or financial obligations to the state.

The disclosure has sparked a debate on the topic of pensions for former governors and the need for transparency in the management of public funds.

Some have argued that the pension amount is too high, while others have pointed out that it is in line with the law and the service provided by the former governor during his tenure.

Babatunde Fashola’s revelation about his monthly pension from the Lagos State Government has shed light on the issue of pensions for former governors and the importance of transparency in the use of public funds.

The debate surrounding this issue is likely to continue as the public seeks to understand the rationale behind the pension and benefits provided to public officials after they leave office.
