UKEJE: I am DSC Ukeje. I have been going to Stanbic IBTC Pension for the payment of the 7.5 per cent approved by President Muhammadu Buhari for pensioners.
I urge PenCom to order them to pay me.
Even the Nigerian Custom Service where I retired 2016 has forgotten me and my colleagues.
PENCOM: Please forward your Retirement Savings Account (RSA), PIN, Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) as well as other information to enable the commission expedite action on the matter. Thank you.

SHELLE: Greetings. I am Shelle, a retired civil servant from the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Zaria after 35 years.
My complaint is on the non-payment of arrears arising from 2.5 per cent okayed by the Federal Government by Premium Pension since last June. Now I am with Leadway Assurance Anuity Pension.
I will be grateful if you can order Premium Pension to pay.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
PENCOM: Investigations have shown that the 2.5 per cent arrears have been remitted into your Retirement Savings Account (RSA). This was in August 2021 prior to your purchase of a retiree Life Annuity Plan last November.
UWEM: Good day. My uncle, Mr Godwin Uwem, was a teacher at Poly Staff School, Ibadan for many years. He was compulsorily retired five years ago without any gratuity.
At present, he is languishing in hunger. He has turned into a street beggar and his children roam the streets of Ibadan in search of what to eat daily. Efforts to meet the Provost of Ibadan Polytechnic proved abortive.
Please, how can you help to savage the elderly and his suffering children?
PENCOM: Please provide your uncle’s PFA and RSA PIN to enable the commission probe the matter.
HASSAN: I am Hassan. My RSA shows that there was no remittance by my employer in 2015, 2016, 2017 and part of 2014 and 2018. Please find out why. I was billed to retire last year.
