The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) said it has paid the sum of N846,146,987.71 to 2,730 pensioners of the civil service pension department in accrued arrears and gratuity owed the pensioners.
The arrears paid to retirees ranged from previously verified pensioners not on the payroll, those who did not receive their gratuity on retirement and failed payments on the GIFMIS platform.

Shelleng assured other pensioners who were yet to receive their arrears to be calm as the directorate was working tirelessly to ensure that all outstanding arrears of pensions and gratuity were paid soon.
He assured defined benefit scheme pensioners of the Directorate’s continued strive to ensure that their welfare is promoted.
