President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday 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.
He gave the assurance at a meeting with the Executive Secretary, Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), Sharon Ikeazor, at the State House, Abuja.
He directed a speedy completion of the ongoing nationwide verification of pensioners.
Buhari, in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stressed that the exercise was necessary because the success of the administration’s goal of putting in place an efficient pension scheme would hinged on the availability of a reliable database.
In a presentation to the President, Ikeazor said the PTAD management was determined to restore dignity to pensioners by protecting their funds and paying their entitlements promptly.
