In case you missed it
It can be recalled that on April 22, 2021, the Executive Secretary of PTAD, issued a press statement to inform the general public of the sincerity of President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the consequential adjustment on the pension benefits.
She emphasized that the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) have no reason to go on any protest because the matter was at the conclusive stage.
She pointed out that as an agency of government saddled with the mandate of overseeing the payment of pension benefits to pensioners under the Defined Benefit Scheme and taking care of their welfare, they are encouraged to do more for the pensioners and will continue to strive to improve the quality of their lives.
While telling the pensioners not to give their account details to anybody, the Executive Secretary also caution the senior citizens once again, that PTAD will not request any gratification from anybody before the money will be paid into their account.
She asked them to report any scammer or anyone requesting gratification before their benefits would be paid to PTAD.
