IDOWU: Good day, my name is Idowu.This is a reminder to you that I have sent my scanned verification details to PTAD as directed since July 22, 2021 but I have not received any response.
Recall that I retired from the Lagos State Post-primary Teaching Service Commission on April 30, 2004. The date of my first appointment at Epe Division Grammar School, Lagos State was June 1,1969.
I spent 35 years in Lagos State. My complaints are that I have not been paid the Federal Share of my Gratuity (1969-1976).
Secondly, my pension from May 1, 2004 to February 2008 was not paid. Instead, I was paid from March 1, 2008 to date. I thank you for the effort of your organisation to help us. God bless you.
PTAD: The Directorate would require your bank statement from retirement to date.
ONOH: My name is Onoh. I am from Cross River State. I retired from the Ministry of Public Utility on May 6, 2004. This is a reminder on my call for help over the non-payment of gratuity and monthly pension.
I humbly beg you to help me solve this problem and the 75 months’ pension allowance, which has lingered for years, despite my complaints at several pension verification exercises.
My gratuity is N244,336.32 and monthly pension is N6,244.14.
I was placed on pension payroll in September 2010, leaving 75 months behind. This amounts to N468,310.513.
Total money owed, including gratuity is N712,646.82. Thanks, in anticipation of your kind support.
PTAD: Bank statement is required from May 5, 2004 to date
OPADEJI: Good day, I thank you for the humanitarian job you are doing to correct the anomaly arising from payment to pensioners.
My name is Opadeji. I retired from NITEL on January 21, 2001 on grade level 14 as senior manager. I participated in the NITEL verification in 2001 and that of PTAD in 2005.
In 2005, when I was going for verification, my documents were missing and I sworn to an affidavit on the loss of the documents.
On the basis of the loss, PTAD placed me on grade level nine and I sent complaint emails to PTAD several times but no action was taken on my complaint email.
I, therefore, took the risk of travelling to Abuja, PTAD office, when the original copy of letter of promotion was delivered to me by a good Samaritan.
My salary was subsequently readjusted to grade level 14 but less than my salary before the verification and also far less than the pension being paid to my colleagues on the same GL 14.
Therefore, I sent many complaint emails, but returned undelivered perhaps my emails have been blocked.
Since then, I have accepted my fate. Now that I have the opportunity to forward my complaint through you to PTAD, I shall be grateful if my complaint can be treated with utmost concern. Thank you.
PTAD: Pensioner is on payroll. Pensioner’s grade level readjusted from grade level 9 to 14 step 10. He should provide Bank Statement from January 2018 to date for reconciliation.
DUROJAYE: Hello, my name is Durojaye. Thank you for the publications of my complaint on the short-payment of my pension federal share since 2015, on August 24 and August 31, 2022.
Please reactivate my federal share of pension. I expect a positive action.
PTAD: Pensioner was called several times, but no response. Pensioner should provide Bank Statements from 2015 to date to authenticate his complaint.
ANONYMOUS: Good day, I will like to know if my father is eligible for pension under Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS). He was appointed on July 3, 1989 but was removed on April 27, 1999.
PTAD: No Name and details provided.
Sunday: Good day, my name is Sunday from Cross River State. My father, Inspector Okimba, died on July 10, 2005 in active service.
His last place of service was Akwa-Ibom State. I went on to process his entitlement as his next of kin in 2015 at PTAD office Abuja where I was verified and captured with pensioner number. But up till date, I have not been paid.
Kindly help me.
PTAD: There was incomplete documentation during verification. NOK is requested to forward these additional documents: Enlistment form; Emolument form, Letter of Administration, Marriage Certificate, Introduction Letter from Last Command, Valid Means of Identification, NOK’s Birth Certification, and NOK’s BVN.
ABDULLAHI: I am Abdullahi from Jos, Plateau State. My father was a staff member with Ministry of Defence, civilian unit for 16 years before he died in 1995.
I have attended various screening and verifications and the last one was in Jos in 2017.
I have submitted the required documents for the payment of gratuity and pension benefits as a Next of Kin (NOK), but up to no avail.
In 2020 I was called from PTAD to submit some documents, including bank account details, which I did. From your publication of my case, PTAD is asking for my verification number which I scanned and sent since then.
I hope The Nation will assist me.
PTAD: NOK should provide the deceased name and Bank statement.
BEST: My name is Best, SOP retired. I retired in 2006.
My complaint is on the short-payment of gratuity and pension. Table ‘B’ 268 per cent was used to compute my entitlement instead of 420 per cent for 31 years’ service. Gratuity paid was N1,665,569.08.
PTAD: Pensioner is on overpayment recovery.
WILLIAMS: This is to inform the officer concerned that I have not been receiving my monthly pension allowance since October 2021.
I was paid last on September 29, 2021 and the amount was N11,514.39.
I will be very grateful if this issue is corrected and the arrears paid up.
PTAD: Local government employees, not qualified for pension under PTAD.
ESIE: My name is Esie. Two years’ consequential arrears of pension were paid in four instalments. First instalment of nine months was paid to me. Second instalment of another nine months was also paid. The third instalment of three months was not paid. The fourth installment of three months was paid in June 2022. I therefore ask that the omitted three months arrears be paid to me.
