PTAD adjusts pensions for 14,825 civil service retirees
The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) has adjusted the pensions of 14,825 retirees to reflect their monthly take home. This followed the implementation of the expanded computation and revalidation of pensioner’s documents by the Directorate in 2020 for the Civil Service Pension Department. The Executive Secretary, Dr. Chioma Ejikeme, made this known in a statement. She said a total of 14,836 pensioners were being overpaid based on the figures inherited by PTAD. She said: “I, along with the management team of PTAD, held a meeting with the executive members of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) and the Federal Civil Service Pensioners Branch (FCSPB) to inform the unions of the Directorate’s plan to properly place pensioners in the Civil Service Pension Department (CSPD), who were being overpaid on their monthly pension. “At the end of the meeting, both parties agreed that the affected pensioners would be contacted and informed of the Directorate’s plan to properly place them on the right monthly pension from July 2022, while the modalities to recover the over-payment would be worked out in due course. The letters to the affected pensioners have since been dispatched.’’
