Custom, other retirees express satisfaction
The Pension Transitional Arrangement
Directorate (PTAD) has, after its verification exercise for retired
Police officials, discovered 600 pensioners that had never received any
payment since retirement.
Nellie Mayshak, director-general of PTAD, who disclosed this to journalists in Lagos, described the development as unjust.

Consequently, the Directorate promised that these retirees were going to be paid all their money immediately.
“On the good side, there were 600
pensioners that had never received any payment since they retired, which
is unjust. So, we are quickly going to pay those people. Through the
process, we have seen that some people are underpaid while some are
overpaid, and so we are adjusting all that,” she said.
Presently, the verification exercise for
Customs, Immigration and Prisons pensioners is ongoing. The exercise is
being carried out in 13 centres across the country – Rivers, Edo, Cross
River, Enugu, Imo, Lagos, Oyo, Kano, Sokoto, Bauchi, FCT, Kwara, and
Benue.
