EBITARI: Hello, my name is Ebitari. My Pension Fund Administrator (PFA), Premium Pension, has refused to pay my contribution.
I worked with NIPOST in Bayelsa for 16 years before I transfered my service to the Bayelsa State Civil Service where I retired in 2020.
Since then, I have been on the neck of Premium Pension to pay the balance in my Retirement Savings Account (RSA). But up till now, they have not paid me.
PENCOM: Please, provide us with the name of your Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) to enable the commission investigate further. Thank you.
EUGENIA: My name is Eugenia. I submitted application for the payment of my lump sum since July 28, but nothing has been done about it. Please, help me on this matter.
PENCOM: Please, provide us with the name of your Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) to enable the commission investigate further. Thank you.
DEBORAH: Good day, my name is Deborah, the next-of-kin to the late Ogunmokun, who retired from a primary school in Iwo, Osun State in 2016.
We obtained his bond from the state government January, this year, having submitted the Letter of Administration, death certificate and other documents to First Guarantee Pension Limited, his PFA.
Since January, we are yet to get my husband’s entitlement while other relatives have been settled.
Please, help me out of this problem.
Omobola, I checked last Wednesday’s edition of The Nation, but my case was not published as promised. Please, help.
PENCOM: Please, provide your Retirement Savings Account (RSA) PIN details to enable the commission investigate further. Thank you.
URADE: My name is Urade. I retired from PPEB in Asaba, Delta State. I left my PFA, Trust Fund for Annuity with Standard Alliance Insurance Plc since July 2017. They paid me till June, this year, and stopped. I wrote to the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), but there was no reply. Kindly help me. Thanks.
PENCOM: Please, liaise with the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) as your complaint does not fall within the purview of National Pension Commission (PenCom). Thank you.
EMMANUEL: Good day, my name is Emmanuel. Can you help us intervene in retirees’affairs with Premium Pension? Their desk officers seem not to be updated with the new regulations on retirement benefits. I was told the regulations haven’t been sent to them from PenCom. They claim that they are yet to be given the go-ahead to verify 2022 retirees. They are not advising the retirees on the current documents to present as specified in the new regulation. Does it mean 2022 retirees can’t be verified?
Also, I will like to know if programmed withdrawal enjoys life pension payment or if annuity gives life pension payment.
PENCOM: Online verification and enrolment for 2022 has begun. Refer to www.pencom.gov.ng for more information.
Programmed Withdrawal – yes calculated over an expected life span and minimium pension guarantee for when RSA is depleted. Life Annuity for life but guaranteed for only 10 years after which in the event of death the legal named beneficiary has no entitlement.
OJEBOLA: I retired in November 13, 2013 and my documents were duly submitted to LASPEC on September 23, 2021. My PFA is Stanbic IBTC Pension. I am tired of repeated calls and this hotline never goes through for the public to use.
My pension benefits are long overdue since November 13, 2013. My repeated calls at LASPEC, Alausa are not yielding any result. Kindly find out the cause of the delay. I am elated at your prompt response.
PENCOM: Provide details – Full name, PFA, PIN.
ADEKUNLE: Good day, I was given your number to seek for your assistance to know if my late dad’s benefits has been processed by Leadway Pensure. He worked at the Federal Polytechnic, Offa and died in service. I submitted the documents since 2018, but, up till date, I have not been able to get his entitlement. This is why I need your assistance.
PENCOM: Payment was made in August 2021.
ANNONYMOUS: Good Morning. I worked at the NPF and was enlisted in 2016. Ever since, I haven’t received my pension. I have made several complaints, but to no avail.
Recall that I transferred to NPF Pension Limited from Trustfund Pensions Limited and my balance in the later has been transferred to the former. My employer has also not remitted my pension contributions to my PFA. Kindly assist me.
PENCOM: It’s being processed for payment.
