Staff members at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN) have filed a formal complaint against the Human Resources Director, Adenike Adesanya, alleging that she has been drawing a full salary while exceeding the mandatory retirement age of 60. The grievance, addressed to the institute's governing board, highlights concerns over transparency and accountability within the organization, suggesting that the alleged actions of Adesanya represent gross misconduct.

The petitioners claim that despite reaching the required retirement age in 2024, Adesanya has not stepped down from her position and continues to receive government pay and benefits. They have described their actions as a necessary measure to uphold the integrity of the public sector, expressing a commitment to responsible management of resources in light of growing public scrutiny on government officials and their practices.

This allegation raises important questions about governance and adherence to regulations within Nigeria's public institutions. If substantiated, it could lead to significant repercussions for Adesanya and the broader implications for oversight in similar organizations. This case also invokes broader discussions on age-related policies and the implementation of retirement laws in Nigeria's workforce.
