The House of Representatives Committee on Pensions has lauded the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) for the successes recorded since its inception, imploring it to sustain the momentum and improve service delivery.
The Committee Chairman, Hussaini Jallo, who led other members of the committee on an oversight visit to PTAD in Abuja said the services being rendered by the organisation were of utmost importance to Nigerians, insisting that there is more to be done.
He said that the 10th Assembly would support PTAD in achieving its mandate, in the interest of all pensioners and the country.
Earlier, the Executive Secretary of PTAD, Chioma Ejikeme stated that the organisation conducted field verifications which took place all over the country to validate verified documents, clearance of a deluge of inherited arrears and complaints, to the present “I Am Alive Confirmation Solution.
Ejikeme also briefed the committee on the challenges faced by PTAD and the plans to improve the welfare of pensioners under the federal Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS) as mandated by the Pension Reform Act 2014.
