Professor Isa emphasized that, no single file will go missing over gratuity or death benefits.
"People complaining about their names or files missing may not understand the workings here. We have been paying gratuity and benefits, and as I said earlier we have a principle of payment which is first in, first served.
"What it means is that when your file is being processed, when it comes to pension bureau, the date that your file is being processed is registered against your name. People say they are retired in 2015, but before, the file that is being processed is reading 2016 or 2017. So it is one thing for you to say you retired in 2015, and it is another thing for us to have gotten your file this period, so there is nothing like missing files.
"If we bring out list is based on first in, first served. Everybody's turn will come as we continue with the verification exercise. No file is missing in actual sense of it.
Professor Salamatu Isa stressed that the list for the payment will be posted on all social media handles, Pension Bureau premises, all Local Government Secretariats, Pension Union offices, and it will be sent to Pension Desk Officers (PDOs) in Local Government Offices.
