Over 30 years of retirement, Bello would collect as much as $1.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Bello received $36,860 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Bello will have already received $195,695 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
