Out of the total amount, ₦1.736 billion is allocated for accrued rights of 511 retirees under the CPS, while ₦585 million is earmarked for gratuities and death benefits to 315 pensioners and next-of-kin under the DBS.


The bureau explained that CPS beneficiaries will receive their payments directly into their Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs) with their Pension Fund Administrators, while those under the DBS will be invited for screening and verification prior to payment.
