DSP Bashir: I retired after 35 years of meritorious service from the Nigeria Police Pension on November 30, 2017. My gratuity to be paid to me is just less than N1.5 million.  I was told that my contribution was not made available to PenCom for trading. Please help me.

ASP SAMUEL: I have written immediately to the Director of NPF Pension. One year arrears multiplied by four  gives  N1. 466, 804: 72k which is more than N1.176,516: 92k that I am paid for serving for 35yrs.  My personal savings is more than N1. 5 million. What has government given me for my service? My other counterparts are paid more than me. Please I am so disturbed. Even court clerks and messengers at state level can’t go home with one million naira? A course mate who is a traffic warden, ASP Monday, was paid N7 million and another fraction of N3 million. We both retired in March 2018. Please help me.

IBRAHIM: My name is Ibrahim Mohammed Musa. I work with Nigeria Immigration Service, a DSI by Rank. My RSA initially was domiciled with the Acquired Amana Pension Limited, that was at the time of my documentation at Gwagwalada Para-military Board in 2009. After having registered with the Amana Pension Limited then before folding up, my pin was not given to me and I was left in the dark for quite a number of years until IPPIS, when I was made to understand that Sigma Pension acquired Amana pension limited. As I contacted Sigma Pension with a complaint, they advised me on a new RSA registration. Having done the registration and given the new pin number, they later called me and informed me of an old pin that Amana never gave to me and of course, Sigma advised me to use that old pin of which I agreed. My complaint is, as IPPIS started paying my salary, Sigma is updating me on my pension deduction based on the deduction from the Commencement of IPPIS without the previous balance from my RSA hitherto domiciled with Amana. Please, I need your help.

MACAULAY: Dear Omobola, my name is Macaulay. I will be happy if The Nation can bail me out. Some people have been calling me saying that they are PTAD staff in charge of my pension case. They have duped me and collected N400,000 from me, claiming my file is on the last stage. I am a pure federal retiree. I retired from Federal Ministry of Agricultural Department on grade level 13. Step 6. I retired in May 1994. The trouble with my pension is that there was an increase in the payment that made my pension N30, 000 and another N22, 000. Instead of paying in one voucher, it was paid separately and suddenly the N22, 000 was stopped. I complained and with the help of a colleague in Abuja, the error was corrected and arrears were paid in February 2014. By March again, the same year, my pension came back to N30, 000. Later there was an increase of 33 per cent and that makes N50, 258.20. This is what I have been receiving since. The N22, 000 is a forgotten issue. This is where those in the PTAD have been milking me up to the tune N400, 000. They will tell me I should send money for the process. By now my monthly pension should be up to N80, 000 but I am receiving N50, 258.20. The first person to collect money from me was one Rosemary. Others are Mrs Zainab Usman, John Ose, Dr. Rose Ndom, Mrs Uwakwe, John Okafor and Collins  Udoko who says he is the HOD. I have their phone numbers and the agents they use their names and account numbers and banks are with me. When the situation demands, then I will forward them. Madam, God almighty will surely reward you. I celebrated my 80th birthday in 2016. When do I enjoy my labour? Thank you. Hope to hear from you soonest.

PTAD: The pensioner has been contacted. We have asked him to scan and send a copy of his verification slip to enable us investigate his complaint.

STANBIC IBTC: Further to our response below, please note that in line with the first PIN rule, as stipulated   by the National Pension Commission (PenCom), the first Retirement Savings Account (RSA) Personal Identification Number (PIN) obtained by an RSA holder should be maintained.

Please note that Mr. Abdulsalam can choose to transfer back to us once the Transfer Window is declared open by PenCom.

OJI: Hello sir/ma, my case is PenCom related. I retired from service in 2015 on GL 08, but was paid off on GL 07.

OJI: Hello sir/ma, please my case is PenCom-related. I retired   from Nigeria Custom Service in 2015 on GL 08, but was paid off on GL 07. The reason is that I got promoted in 2014, but Customs Service failed to implement or effect the salary variation till September 2015, while I was to retire the next month so I was paid off on GL 07 instead of GL 08. Thus I was heavily shortchanged and it is affecting my monthly pension. Please where do I go from here? My PFA is Sigma Pensions
