National Pension Commission (PenCom)

The Nigerian Government has released the sum of N13.89 billion for payment of accrued pension rights to retirees who left the public service in 2022.

A statement by the National Pension Commission (PenCom) states that the pension payment is for retirees in treasury-funded Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The Commission promised that it is processing remittances into the various Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs) of the affected retirees while their Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) are expected to notify such retirees at the appropriate time.

PenCom commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his unwavering commitment towards effective implementation of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in Nigeria to ensure better life for retirees.

A peaceful outcome of the 2015 presidential election was the desire of the generality of Nigerians and the international community. Thankfully, we got it; and more.

His concession of defeat and early call to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari, who emerged as President-elect, is surely an indelible mark in our strides to entrenching a democratic culture in Nigeria.
