SIR: Please, permit me to use your much esteemed tabloid to highlight the sufferings of retirees in Abia State, in the hands of Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria. It will surprise you to know that it takes upwards of 3 years for contributors to the scheme to get their refund from the Bank.
My name is Ogbonna Charles E. and I retired from the Abia State Civil Service with effect from 20th December, 2012 and on the 24th of December, 2012, I submitted my application for refund with the completed forms which they issued to me attached, to the Umuahia Branch of the Bank.
Since then, I have been to the office not less than twenty times but to no avail. Also, since April this year, they have been telling me that the approval for payment has come, that it is in the January, 2015 batch and that their Abuja Office will effect the payment but to my chagrin up till today, nothing has happened.
I am tired of waiting indefinitely. Hence, I crave your indulgence, to assist me call on the bank to refund my contribution and the interest thereon, to enable me take care of some domestic needs, especially as pensions and gratuities are not being paid in Abia State.
My Mortgage Account No. is 100677058-0 and my Passbook No. is 02477823.
Thanks for being the finger God will use to cause them to pay me the refund.
- Ogbonna Charles E.
