President Muhammadu Buhari Monday assured that his
administration's reforms will ensure that Nigerians who spent the productive
years of their lives serving the nation will not experience difficulties in
getting their pensions.
Speaking at a meeting with Barrister Sharon Ikeazor, the
Executive Secretary, Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) at the
State House, the President directed a speedy completion of the ongoing
nationwide verification of pensioners.
President Buhari stressed that the exercise was necessary
because the success of the administration's goal of putting in place an
efficient pension scheme hinged on the availability of a reliable database.
In a presentation to the President, Barrister Ikeazor said
the PTAD management was determined to restore dignity to pensioners by
protecting their funds and paying their entitlements promptly.
The Executive Secretary also said that in line with the
anti-corruption posture of the current administration, the PTAD has put
measures in place to ensure accountability, compliance with regulations and
zero-tolerance for corruption.
