CBN Retirees Sue Over Denied 15% Pension Increase

Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has adjourned until October 15, 2026, further hearing in a suit brought by retired employees of the Central Bank of Nigeria over the alleged failure to fully implement subsisting court judgments concerning the harmonisation of their retirement benefits. This protracted legal battle highlights the significant challenges faced by pensioners in enforcing judicial pronouncements against federal government agencies, underscoring the often-lengthy and complex nature of litigation involving public sector entities and employee entitlements. The retirees are seeking the enforcement of previous judgments, indicating a persistent struggle to secure their rightful benefits despite prior legal victories.
