CHIDI: My name is Chidi. My mother, Mrs. Augustina has not been paid any dime as pension for over 15 years now. Although it is a long story which is partly not the fault of PTAD. But PTAD has taken over payment of all pensioners including my mother as well as her group in Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Enugu District to be precise. I would like to know when the pensioners (Mrs. Augustina inclusive) in NRC, Enugu District that were part of the mass retrenchment in 2005 by former president Obasanjo administration, start receiving their monthly pension like others? Many of her colleagues are dead and some incapacitated due to hunger, hardship, trauma, sickness. That Mrs Augustina still alive is only by the grace of God. More so, this is against the backdrop of the legal dynamics between her group and NRC, Enugu District, with excruciating feebleness and available financial support won the case. Please Mrs. Augustina (my mother) want to know what is delaying them from receiving their pension till date.
