A cry of a retired immigration officer

how are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of the paramilitary pensioners have been taken away by the dictatorship of the federal government,by seizing our gratuity in paying our monthly pension...what an error

question (1) is it our gratuity that contributory pension scheme is supposed to manage?
question (2) since most of what we contributed is not even up to N500,000 or better still not up to a million naira, will that warrant the seizure of our gratuity?
question (3)if the contributory pension scheme is good enough, why did the then head of state Gen.Olusegun Obasanjo not put his own into contributory pension scheme?

This is one insensitivity on the part of the federal government to the paramilitary pensioners, who fought to make sure the nation is safe guarded from disintegration. series of letters of appeal have been sent to the NASS and Head of State. these letters have even scaled through the second reading in the house of representative and a public hearing on the matter on the 28th of August 2018, but because we do not have the money to lobby the members of the house no action was taken up till now.

This is man's inhumanity to man, what an irony of fate. rather they are swelling up their pockets, changing their vehicles to the detriment of the paramilitary pensioners who gave their all to safe guard lives and properties.

what we are asking for which is our prayer is give us our gratuity which is our entitlement and our pension arrears. it may shock you to note that Chile where Obasanjo copied the scheme from have been in protest for the past one year now, no rest for the government.

please hear our prayers and make things right as this will also enable those in service now to give their best.

please this letter was written by a retired immigration officer with the intent to get the desired attention from the government and public...his phone number is 08093799442.

thanks and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Vicious cycle..
