Isah explained that payment of retirees under the contributory pension scheme is being done  by the Pension Funds Administrators (PFAs), adding that the government will only pay the past savings.

She said such savings, which is known as accrued rights,  is the retirees’  entitlements  prior to the commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme  in 2017,  and they are  paid to  PFAs instead of individual beneficiaries.

Giving a breakdown of the payment, the Executive Secretary  had said that N600,000,000 has been allocated to the state retirees and deceased families, while N300,000,000 was allocated to local governments retirees and  families of the  deceased .
