A director in the office of the
Accountant-General of the Federation has been appointed as the acting
executive secretary/director-general of the directorate.
While there were allegations that the
suspension was as a result of scam running into billions of naira, a
statement signed by the Director, Corporate Services, PTAD, Atiku Saleh,
stated that the details on issues relating to the suspension had yet to
be made available by the government.
“The PTAD wishes to assure pensioners that this development will not affect pension payments and services,” he stated.
In 2013, the Federal Government
commissioned the PTAD to manage the pensions of its retirees under the
Defined Benefits Scheme and appointed Mayshack as the head of the
office.
Retirees under the DBS have continued to lament the non-payment of their entitlements.
Some of the problems confronting the
Federal Government retirees include non-payment of gratuity and
pensions, non-payment of arrears, and omission and arbitrary delisting
of their names from the payroll.
