Obasanjo's shame: $15bn (N2,400bn ) feared stolen from Government Pension Fund[/size]
Nigerian authorities have uncovered a huge deficit in the state pension fund, confirming what many unpaid former state workers have feared for years.

Retired civil servants have long complained of non-payment of their pensions, with many forced to queue for days to claim what they are owed, 

According to Nigerian government calculations, the shortfall in the state pension fund amounts to at least 2 trillion naira (£9.3bn; $14.8bn).

The revelation is likely to stir suspicions that some of the money may have been misappropriated.

Corruption was a major issue in Nigeria's recent election, which saw won by President Olusegun Obasanjo and his People's Democratic Party (PDP).

'Unfortunate activity'

Experts have not ruled out that some of the money may have been stolen, but there has also been criticism of the pay-as-you-go scheme the state uses to raise pension funds.

"We think there has been some unfortunate activity," Ahmed Mohammed of the Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund told the BBC's Network Africa.
 

"This pay-as-you-go scheme has been abandoned in many countries. Payments have not been made on time."

Pensioners regularly travel to Abuja, often camping outside government offices, in the hope of getting some of their money.

Many reacted to the news with dismay.

"I don't have a roof on my head,  There is no sign that the government will be able to pay our pensions," said one pensioner.

"The government is fighting against corruption. If the government can't pay this money, then they cannot stop all these things," said another.

Wonderful job on our history. It seems people prefer sectional bickering and insult than developmental issue. Your will have to wait a while for response.

@Juman

GenBuhari:

@Juman

Yeah, 1988 olympics.

The 1992 olympics, Oluyemi Kayode, Olapade Adeniken, Davidson Ezinwa, Chidi Imoh = good combination.

Athletics is down like other things in nigeria.

I remember Olapade Adeniken in Kwara 85 festival
Our own Olapade Adeniken

I see that you love athletics, I do too

Nigeria would have done great things in 2000 Olympics with the likes of Chioma Ajunwa , if Abacha had remained in power.
