I wouldn't judge on why you went physical with the Accountant. But please try to avoid physical altercations at any point in time henceforth.

Engage a lawyer to issue a letter of pension payment. They must respond to you because the company knows the legal implications and penalty.

Write the company and copy your PFA. Write the PFA and copy the company and copy the Pension Commission.

Good evening good people and happy new year to everyone,

Please advise me on how to recover my unpaid pension of about 385,000 from my formal company, a private company

I worked with the company for 14months,and I was fired for misconduct because I don't take any shit from any bastard, I was duely engaged with engagement letter and equally disengaged with a discontinuation letter or sack letter boldly,

For the 14months I worked with them my pension was paid only twice but the deduction of 8% from my own side was steady, when I couldn't take it anymore, I enquired why the pension is not being paid and the accountant started forming big boy I wire him slap heavily and boom I was fired, after much trouble the accountant was also fired, after all one person no dey fight, two fighting two dismisal.

I have moved on and gotten another job which this new company is also paying my pension regularly on the same RSA

I wrote the company after two months requesting for my pension and they have not responded up till now.

Please can anyone advise me on how to go about the money.i learnt late payment or non payment of persons attractions 2% interest,

Please how can I recover my pension with this people.

Thanks for your advice.

You don't recover pension, and beside your formal company and present company doesn't have hand or power over your pension RSA. So what should he do. I have a friend that's about leaving this country and will be glad if a solution on how he will cash out he's pension is explained.

Write a letter to PENSION COMMISSION and visit their office at Oduduwa crescent, Ikeja GRA to complain and they will carry out a pension audit on the firm from 2005 till date.

They will make sure that all the outstanding pension owed by the company is paid.

Also contact your PFA officer.

I was going to give him a comprehensive advice but there's no need since you have gone straight to the point. OP forget it, I repeat forget it, since it's not with your PFA, you won't get it. Ignore anyone asking you to get a lawyer, you will be wasting time and money, I know the law the they will use against you considering the fact that you worked for only 14 months. You won't get a dime.

Even after deducting his 8percent without remitting? Do you know that in itself is fraud? Your guys always say things you aren't sure about. He would get every single penny if he writes to pencom.

I beg to differ on the fact he doesn’t need a lawyer. The PFA may write to his former company but a lawyer is needed to diligently follow up with the case. There are many of such cases and the case managers of the PFA’s are often overwhelmed, attaching no preference to any case file.

I would advice seek a good lawyer versatile in employment/labour matters and he or she can see your case through.

DM for more information.

Can you please reach out to me on 07041166945. I have a similar case.

I believe Pensions are paid to pension companies.

Your former employer has no power to withhold your pension. If they wanted to punish you they wouldn't have given you a sack letter.

Pensions can only be withdrawn when you are 50 years and above. If you are below 50 you must go with a sack and letter and some few other requirements.

From how you talk about not taking shit from anyone, try and get it fast because your character will still cause you further jobs.

Suffer never tire you!
Keep fighting and getting fired.

If the company you worked for didn't remit your pensions on steady basis, I wonder how you could have gotten over 300k in your RSA.

You can write to your RSA to inquire if the firm actually was remiting your own pensions on steady basis. If you are using stanbic, you can check your RSA account via the app.

Brother this may seem odd but I will advise you to move on.
For young people out there listen...never get in a fight with anyone whose ever offered you a job!! It's not worth it.

@OP, when u get older, u will realise that the road to the top is littered with nonsense and only those who can stoop so low to take nonsense will last at the top.

385k will not make you a millionaire not a billionaire anytime soon and since ur current firm is remitting ur pension, I will advice you to take the positives if any from your experience and move on because you never get ahead looking back.
PS. I resigned in 2017 from a job, about 900k had not been remitted even till date to my RSA from that firm. But it's not stopped me from going on since then to become what I aspired.
I know how u feel... BUT learn the lesson and move on; that's what experiences are made for

Like you said, it is odd advise.

This is a sloppy and weak advise. OP Please disregard this advise.
So because 385k will not make him a millionaire he should let it go? This is why we have the kind of leadership we have at the moment in Aso rock. Because we don't question the status quo.

Why should I allow myself to be duped and trampled upon by my fellow man. I would fight for what is mine, even if it's just 100k.

The whole point of pension is to cater to you at old age
Not a glorified savings account you can withdraw at will

What I can see here is generational gap
Younger nigerians tend to be more assertive and big on their rights
The older ones are more like endure and manage whatever till you get up there

pension fund can be withdrawn up to 25/50 % depending on The PFA if you are out of job for a period of 4 months, but thats not my case here, 8% of salarywas deducted evry month for 14 good months without being remitted into my RSA .that's my sweat that was officiallyand legally agreed to be remitted.

I once found myself in a similar situation.

In my own situation, my employer remits my pension but I became fed up by the poor service delivery from my RSA operator. So, I asked to be swapped to a new RSA company.

I informed the RSA company of my intentions of choosing a new RSA company but they were dragging their feet in finalizing my transfer so I called my employer to stop paying my pension into that RSA account until I'm completely transferred to a new RSA company.
The delay to facilitate my transfer persisted for a while then I wrote PENCOM informing them of my situation and the reluctance of my RSA company in finalizing my transfer. After reporting the RSA company, my transfer was swiftly done.

After the transfer was done, I called my employer to remit all the backlogs of my pension money to my new RSA and they did.


OP, it's always good to stand by an ideal, be a man of principle, only then will you get the respect you deserve.

Do u ever wonder why younger ones are not making it to positions of leadership in politics or business?
They have no honour and for today's porridge will jeopardize relationships that could be strategic and beneficial in the future.
