The National Pension Commission (PenCom) said it has recovered N422.34 million from defaulting employers who failed to remit pension contributions by their employees to respective pension fund administrators (PFAs).

This is contained in the 2022 first-quarter report released by the commission on Tuesday.

The figure is 30.6 per cent lower than the commission’s recovery to the tune of N608.55 million in the first quarter of the preceding year.

PenCom said the amount comprises N124.89 million principal contribution and N295.45 million penalty.

It added that the sum was recovered from 23 defaulting employers during the quarter under review.

Meanwhile, it said six defaulting employers have been presented for appropriate legal action.
