The on-going pensioners verification exercise by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, has revealed 15,000 ghost pensioners, an indication that massive frauds still exist in the Defined Pension Scheme of the Federal Government.

According to the Director-General of PTAD, Mrs. Nellie Mayshak, who spoke at a stakeholders’ forum in Abuja, yesterday, managing the scheme in the past one year “was very rough” but said her team was determined to give pensioners a new lease of life.
She said there was no alternative to a permanent verification exercise to be sure that pension was paid to genuine beneficiaries.
Mayshak disclosed that in its efforts to clean up the system, her team felt that the data presented by various pension offices were “too bogus” and that when it started it decided to verify 771 pensioners in the Police Pension, her office discovered that they were only 237, insisting: “We really have to clean up the data.
“We will do verification but we are doing it differently. You don’t need to join queues and under the scorching sun; you don’t need to bring mats and all that. In fact, you don’t need to come to Abuja. We will come to you. We treat pensioners with dignity.
“We are on the cutting edge of ICT. You can fill out the complaint form on the Internet from the comfort of your living room or call our hotline and we will attend to you, promptly, without your travelling to Abuja.”
Mayshak said there was a total of about 350,000 pensioners that needed to be verified in the on-going exercise.
Addressing the pensioners, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said regular payment of pensions was a priority of the present administration.
She said: “President Goodluck Jonathan shares the feelings of our senior citizens and directed that they be treated with dignity. Consequently, we had to take actions to make sure that the pains which was associated with pensions does not continue.”

15,000 Ghost pensioners!!

LRNZH:
Because of elections, FG is suddenly discovering everything bad it didn't care about for the past 5 years.

Who are they deceiving? My people, if you vote GEJ and he wins, FG will go to sleep as usual until 2019 when the next elections are due.

Vote for Change now and witness it in action from 2015 to 2019.

I agree this is all a plot, a ploy to get votes

The people who said what is worth doing at all is worth doing right

6 years nothing, 6 weeks rushing

Which makes it more dangerous as a lot of protocols would have been broken to hurriedly fast forward achievements



Change lo SURE ju

Nice one by Gej
This is d best way to stop corruption not just arresting dem but making sure d source they use in stealing is cut off
I hope to see those benefitting from this persecuted

Maina said they are more than that, and fg knows about

No noise please!



























































GEJ is working! Sharp boss that hates noise.

Whenever SATAN listens to one of APC's lies, he
screams "GOD FORBID".
