Federal Pensioners Protest Non-payment Of Arrears

Updated March 16, 2017
Federal Pensioners Protest Non-payment Of ArrearsRetired federal civil servants have protested the non-payment of 15 months pension arrears allegedly held back by the Federal Ministry of Finance.



The senior citizens besieged the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria;s capital on Thursday to register their displeasure over the non-payment of their pension arrears.

They bemoaned the death of fellow members due to their inability to pay for medication and other necessities, owing to the non-payment of pension benefits under the Contributory Pension Scheme.

The aggrieved pensioners consequently issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to pay the outstanding pension arrears.

And failure to meet up with the deadline, the Federal Ministry of Finance will be occupied by the group of elderly Nigerians.

Apostle suleiman could have spent his 8000 euros and 12000 USD on people like this. Rather he spent it on a prostitute. Where do we run to? these pastors and Imams just keep ripping innocent souls of their savings and livelihood. They enrich themselves and leave the gullible helpless. They will steal from the government and take to the religious leaders yet the people are so blind to see them. Would it be wrong if the Imams, adeboye, oyakhilome and Lazarus all come out to lend their voices to support these protesters? have you ever heard of Martin Luther King? Some pastors are happy that Suleiman is going through this scandal so that they can steal his members. Religion is the real problem of the country, but no one seems to see that. Kemi Olunloyo might be insane to you, but she chooses to speak out on issues that are heavily embedded in the fabrics of our devious cultures.
sorry for protesters but when the government pays them, the first thing they will do is to give the money to criminals, religious leaders

Re: Federal Pensioners Protest Non Payment Of Arreas by teemy(m): 7:27am On Mar 17, 2017
they were once in the system and so i see them reaping the rewards of their not correcting it. correcting it would be retirees getting paid ahead of those in service like it's done in nnpc and those in service would be rest assured of protection too.

that way no govt would see or insult them as dead weight. the current labour congress should push this as a standard else history would keep repeating itself and fear of the unknown would encourage civil servants to pencil push and corruption thrives

Very strange. I know a pensioner who say they pay him no later than 25TH of every month however since December he was not paid
He. Came down to Abuja PITAD. PITAD has said that there was a problem with their system and they were so sorry. All areas would be paid. I believe he was paid

Nigeria is a failed project...Sometimes i just wonder how life would have been if we were still under our colonial masters b'cos ever since we broke free, nothing had changed. I can't go all wrong with white people, seeing my own black leaders looting and not moved a bit towards their people suffering.

How would honest and faithful civil servants served their country wholeheartedly and at their time of rest, their supposed dear country turned her back on them..It's a shame. And seeing looters like dino melaye posing in his cars, displaying his wealth is adding insult to injury.

Can't blame myself running out of that failed state when it was my time to serve her cos she ain't owe me sh1t.

Useless country. No vision, no dreams. Looters keep looting, stupid fools keep praising them.
