ABDULLAHI: I am Abdullahi from Jos Plateau State. My father was a staff member of the Ministry of Defence, Civilian Unit for 16 years before he died in 1995. I have attended various screenings 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 by PTAD to submit some documents, including bank account details. I did. In your publication of my case, PTAD is asking for my verification number, which I scanned and sent since then. I hope Omobola will assist me.
PTAD: NOK should provide deceased name and bank statement.

AYOOLA: The compliment of the season to you and your family. Please assist me as regards my pension allowance. I didn’t see my pension for October, November and December 2021. Please help correct the anomalies. I retired in 2000. I attended the verification at Osogbo. The arrears of harmonisation were paid to me three times this year. Do everything within your power for me.
In addition to my previous complaints, despite my appeal to PTAD TO PAY my pension arrears, instead PTAD removed my name from the payroll with one circular letter, while others in the same category are still enjoying the benefits. For God’s sake, I am an old man and I use the money to buy drugs monthly. This has stopped since then. Please find solutions to my issue. Thank you.
PTAD: Mr. Ayoola should please provide detailed bank statement from period of complaint till date
