The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate’s (PTAD) fight against pension fraudsters and scammers has received a boost.

This boost is coming from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other related Offences Commission (ICPC). The Commission has promised to strengthen its collaboration with PTAD to stifle the activities of pension scammers.

During a courtesy visit to the ICPC Chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye in his office in Abuja, the Executive Secretary, Dr. Chioma N. Ejikeme, along with her senior management team, told him of the efforts put in place by the Directorate to fight these scammers which she said is yielding positive results.

She also appreciated the chairman for the agency’s continued support particularly during the just concluded Parastatals Pensioners Verification Exercise.

A statement by PTAD said the two agencies have agreed to continue to share information especially with regards to Court processes and arraignment of pension fraudsters and scammers.

“This will among other things ensure tabs are kept on criminal activities and ensure more convictions.

“The Chairman, Professor Owasanoye commended Dr. Ejikeme and her team for the good job at PTAD.

“He also reaffirmed his determination to continue to collaborate with PTAD to achieve success in the fight against the pension criminals,” the statement stated.
