 PTAD deletes 51,000 ghost pensioners


The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) yesterday cut off 51,000 fake pensioners uncovered in the Federal Civil Service, Parastatals, Police, Customs, Immigration and Prisons found on its payroll fraudulently receiving pension for decades, The Nation has learnt.

The 51,000 fake pensioners represent about 23 per cent of 226,693 pensioners on PTAD pension payroll as at March 2024. Out of the 51,000 fake pensioners, 43,000 were uncovered in the Civil Service.          

This is coming following the notification in February 2024 to all pensioners under the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS) by PTAD that pensioners who fail to confirm their ‘aliveness’ by March 31, 2024 will be eliminated from the pension payroll.

PTAD however assured that affected pensioners that are able to confirm their ‘aliveness’ after now, will be automatically restored back to pension payroll.

Top sources in the ministry of finance, PTAD and executive in the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) however reveal that PTAD which has been working towards eliminating the fake pensioners for about a year now has been in the firing line by some corrupt people especially in the civil service for daring to eliminate the padded names on its payroll.

One of them said this led to the Directorate been played up and presented to the Presidency to be scrapped along with other agencies of government rendered for the scrap exercise.

Specifically, PTAD which has been operating as an agency was listed to become a department under the Ministry of Finance.

But despite it being listed, PTAD yesterday announced it has eliminated the fake pensioners from its payroll.

In a message on the Directorate twitter handle, the Head, Corporate Communications Unit, Olugbenga Ajayi wrote: “Attention: Following the notification in February 2024 to all pensioners under the DBS, PTAD wishes to inform pensioners who failed to confirm aliveness on their due date that they have been suspended from the pension payroll.

“If the affected pensioners confirm aliveness after their due date, they will be automatically restored back to pension payroll for payment in the next payroll cycle and the arrears for every month or payment cycle missed, will be computed and added to the pension.

“We would like pensioners to note that PTAD will never request for BVN, ATM Card details, ATM Card PIN for “I Am Alive” confirmation or cash to process pension payment hence you should beware of fraudsters”, he added.
