Former state university employee Clifford Osuji, who retired in August 2017, saved $10,558 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Osuji would collect as much as $244,952, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Osuji received $5,148 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Osuji will have already received $15,911 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
