The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) has reiterated its commitment to ensuring equitable administration and management of pension to the benefit of all the Defined Benefit Scheme pensioners under its payroll.
PTAD Executive Secretary Dr. Chioma Ejikeme said this last week when she received a group of pensioners under the umbrella body of the Association of Retired Police Officers of Nigeria (ARPON).
While tasking on ARPON on the issues of harmonisation, palliatives and other issues affect their members, the ES in her reactions said: “Our total commitment is to ensure the welfare of the Nigerian defined benefit pensioners.”
On the issue of harmonisation, she said: “It is a memo that is desirable, important and needed. In terms of the harmonization, please, bear with us.
“As at now I have not been told that there is any money that has been brought to PTAD for the payment of palliatives. There is no instruction to us concerning palliatives”
Earlier, Acting National President of ARPON, said: “We are here first and foremost to felicitate with you on your reappointment for the second term, as the Executive Secretary of the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate.
“Our members are very happy with you and your team and wish you fulfilling second term in office as you continue time to render rewarding services to retirees.
“We are concerned that the exercise carried out last year to harmonize pit pension rates rains unfruitful in lite of all that the Directorate, under your able leaders put into that project.
