You guys are really good. I mean very good. I know someone will search for and come up with what is in there for us
Nitel/Mtel pensioners. I have just received my monthly pension this last June ending 2019. It added 5 more years to my life.
The anticipated Arrears may and I hope will add more years to our existence on this mother earth. My prayers are that Pensioners
should collect this Arrears to fulfill some pressing financial obligations.

No July pension??

It is said that pension arrears has been paid to 187 parastatals

what's wrong with July 2019 Pension for NITEL/MTEL workersAny useful info

It seems the delay in pension payments for Nitel is because of lack of funds. The outstanding 33% arrears paid to 187 agencies from July/August affected Nitel monthly payment. The FG is in serious financial crisis. Most of it's revenue is used to pay salaries and pensions.

Wow

Because they see the Nitel people as mumu and probably beggers who do not have the courage to fight for what is rightfully theirs. Let the mumu'z keep mumu looking on till all that is truely theirs is been stolen away for life. And beware of spyz and false prophets. Because I doubt if everyone here truly stand for same cause. May God deliver us from every evil. Amen!

The funds for Nitel,Mtel pensions may be in flight/transit.
They are so brazen now such that there is nothing they cannot practice.

What i would say is that the Office of Accountant General is the most corrupt agency in Nigeria. This diversion of funds came from there. If Buhari is ready to fight corruption, he should start from there. Those people are brazenly evil and corrupt. They don't give a damn about the way they divert funds for their own interests. Maybe the saving grace for us is that the Finance Minister is back to her position and she would try to protect our interests. We hope and pray so.

If she was not appointed back, then I would have said we should all not expect regular pension payments. The talk from what I gathered from my sources is OAGF is complaining that the Nitel/Mtel monthly pension Bill is too high for one single agency compared to other agencies and pure civil service pensioners. They may try to direct PTAD to effect a downward review of the pension rates for Nitel.

You would see that in the real sense, the FG is in a fiscally bad position. Most of FG's income is used to pay salaries and pensions and is still barely enough.

Also observe that many agencies previously not on pension payroll are being added by PTAD. This means more money to be spent on pensions.

My hope is that they pay the arrears so that everyone can go and sort themselves.

Please I have a question

My dad died December last year, and his monthly pension have been entering

Before he died though, he gave me all his papers and ATM card for the account he used for the pension payment

Now this bulk payment, so I need to re- verify to receive his arrears, or no need since we are already receiving the monthly pension, and the bulk payment will be paid into his account?

Thanks

Sorry about your loss, May God strengthen your family and give you all the strength to move on and be great in life


The arears have not been paid, and I believe it would be paid into your dad's acciunt whenever they decide to pay

Lastly I would advise you keep the death of your dad away from pension related matters, ptad would stop paying any deceased pensioner if they find out about it

All the best

The advice you gave is not an honest one. The monthly pension was for your Dad. NOT FOR YOU. So the right thing to do is report to PTAD about your Dad's death. They will stop the monthly pension but you will still get the arrears, as the next of kin, since it accrued while he was alive.

This world is just a transit point. Always think of the hereafter.

No July pension?
No August pension too??
O ga o
E don red o

I am sure you know that former Executive secretary Mrs Sharon Ikeazor has been given a minister of state in the ministry of environment. The new E/S for ptad is one Dr.Chioma Nnenna. She was in Owerri last week with the former E/S supervising the ongoing federal parastatal pensioners verification in Imo state. Why she has not given the go ahead to pay the accumulated pension is what I don't understand.

the stuff is ready crazy may be it's imperative to head to their Twitter page to trend the issue at @PTADnigeria

Thank God

BREAKING: The new ES of PTAD just confirmed on her personal twitter handle that the department has recieved funds from the FG for August pensions for ex nitel/mtel staff. She said it will begin to drop today (11/09/19).

Nobody is any more talking about the 12 months 33% arrears that was supposed to've been paid in July. Only Nitel, Mtel has not been paid this part-arrears.

A PTAD staff informed that Nitel/Mtel is not eligible for the 33% pension increment arrears as it is for the pure civil service pensioners. Also, all variations had already been captured in computing our pension that we receive now.

So what we should be asking is our arrears for the past years

We expect that since Minister Zainab don come back, she suppose done do something. Now they are already talking about 2020 budget. I was able to see another N500 billion plus for next years pensions, yet, this years arrears for us is not yet paid!

Yes, august pension has dropped. It started coming in two days ago. As for arrears, that one na million dollar question. It all depends on whenever government releases funds for it. I believe a part of it may have been captured in 2019 budget but as you know, budgeting in Nigeria is a very opaque process.

But i recollected that 33% was one of the benchmarks used to calculate our current monthly pensions Wef last October ? If we were not qualified, why were we considered. Again, 12 months of the outstanding arrears of the 33% increase was said to've been paid to all parastatals except Nitel, Mtel last July ?

your explanation/question not too clear sir. Please can you resend it?

Last July, there was a newspaper publication about PTAD paying 12 months arrears of the 33% increase to parastatals. We therefore thought that Nitel,Mtel would be covered only to have the July MP unpaid. We do not know yet whether we shall be paid the part-arrears or not.
Our current MP includes the 33% increase with effect from last October.
