PenCom: ‘Accrued Benefits Ready for Federal Retirees’

The National Pension Commission (PenCom) says employees of federal ministries, departments and agencies who retired between January and August 2016 can now commence the process of collecting their retirement benefits through their Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) as their accrued benefits have been credited to their Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs).

A statement signed by Mr. Emeka Onuora, Head, Corporate Communications at PenCom, says the Federal Government and PenCom salutes the courage, patience and perseverance of the retirees during the period when resources were being mobilised to pay their accrued rights.

The Commission also stated that arrangements are being made to pay the next batch consisting of those that retired between September and December 2016.

“The Commission remains solidly committed to ensuring that retirement benefits are paid as and when due.”

Banks, Telcos Disagreement Hindering Mobile Money Services

The inability of banks and telecom operators to agree on modalities for mobile money operations is hindering the potential of such transactions in Nigeria, compared to the acclaimed success of M-pesa in Kenya. Mobile money transactions need legislations and approvals from both the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which regulates the banking sector and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) that oversees telecom services in the country. Giving an insight into the success of M-Pesa in Kenya at the Commonwealth Broadband Forum 2015 in Abuja, Mr. Joseph Tiampati Musuni, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology, Kenya, said their country experienced a similar Banks-Telcos disagreement at the outset of mobile money services in Kenya. But he added that the government was able to facilitate an amicable and working arrangement between them to pave way for roll-out of the service.
