He disclosed that there were challenges in the pension sector, in spite of the constitutional and statutory provisions that guaranteed pension payment.

He stated that it was the challenges faced in the sector that had prompted the pension reform of 2004, which introduced a mandatory Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) for employees of both public and private sectors, with few exceptions in the public service.

However, he said the sector could not meet all the challenges faced, which was a catalyst for re-establishing the PENCOM board.

“As a government, we are always conscious of our responsibilities with regards to the payment of pensions to eligible retirees in the Federal Public Service.

“We are committed to discharging these responsibilities in spite of the perennial challenges, especially as caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic manifesting in dwindling revenue accruing to the nation,” he said.

    Hope this will bring improvement to the activities of pencom well known for their in efficient and poor services. The response time to approve withdrawal takes months instead of a maximum of two weeks. Their services is a write off as it is extremely poor when it comes to approving the withdrawal of your Contribution after retirement.
