The Federal Government has paid 81 months pension arrears which were incurred from 33 per cent pension increment, but left 87 months outstanding.

The money was paid to Police, Customs, Immigration, Prisons and civil service pensioners.

A detailed breakdown of paid pension arrears and outstanding months were made available to journalists in Abuja, when the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service, chaired by Senator Emmanuel Paulker, visited the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate for its oversight functions.

According to the documents, three months of 33 per cent increment were paid to Police Pension Department, leaving outstanding of 39 months to Customs, Immigration and Prisons Pension Department which had all its 42 months arrears paid off.

The Parastatals Pension Department had its 12 months arrears paid leaving 30 months outstanding.

The Civil Service Pension Department was paid 24 months leaving 18 months outstanding.
Similarly, the 33 per cent pension payment came as a fall out of the upward review of the minimum wage to N18,000 in 2010.

Nice one

Maybe but it would also be nice if they can try and pay gratuity of civil servants who retired within the past year as well... All the retirees from October 2015 till date have not seen a dime of their gratuities, not to talk of being placed on pension.... Lots of aged 60s and all their maladies plenty inside..

You can ask people not to pilfer when they are not sure of when their entitlements will be paid to them, these people aren't finding it funny ATM..


Cc Presidency .....

you are right, but assuming past government have being doing the rig thing then, it might not have gotten to this state, just imagine 81months!!! very sad

modath:



Seems you aren't getting this... I'm not talking about the 81mths ish which is even sensational journalism, no federal pensioner is being owed that much, maybe a couple of months but none has remained unpaid..it's It's differentials on increment not total figure...


What I'm talking about is that since Octoberlast year, gratuities of new retirees haven't been paid... Not a kobo for federal civil service retirees...only parastatals & Agencies have managed to wangle their way.... Main stream civil service have received zilch & it's not cool.

Make your findings if you don't believe me...

When is power going to hit 10,000 MW

I wonder o, those are the type of people that can never see any good in another person, now claiming that government did not owe that much, yet bringing up another issue.

Same way the South South and South East were claiming Jonathan really did well for them before election, now crying that all their roads are bad

Buhari is really trying by ignoring some ingrate

I's an abomination to question ineffectual ogogoro buffoon as he was without blemish according to his online attack baboons.

I just hope they dont come for your head for saying this.

He is also the Hero of Democracy & thieves, looters etc
