The Federal Civil Service Pensioners (FCSP) has called on the reappointed Executive Secretary of the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, Dr Chioma Ejikeme, to prioritise the payment of pension arrears to their members.
The pensioners made the call through their president, Comrade Sunday O. Omezi, Friday in Abuja at a press conference, while debunking reports that they were dissatisfied with the appointment of Dr Ejikeme.
Omezi while commending the president for reappointing Dr Ejikeme, further called on the federal government to release funds to PTAD for pension arrears as there are files of its members both dead and alive lying down in PTAD, which have not been cleared due to unavailability of funds.
He also called on the Executive Secretary to “Fastrack the upward review of pension across board for its members as it is a constitutional matter that provides for review every five years and to maintain her performance in prompt payment of monthly pension and drive innovations that will better the welfare of senior citizens.
