But we are yet to receive the balance. I was employed on July 2, I979 and retired November I4, I99I (I2years). Kindly use your good office to see the Executive Secretary of PTAD, Mrs Odunaya to know what is delaying the pension due of some of us Nitel & Mtel retiree who did our verification since January 2OI8.

PTAD: Dear PTAD PENSIONER, please send your verification slip to our email complaints@ptad.gov.ng to enable us to investigate and respond further. However, note that PTAD obtained a directive for the re-implementation of the CPA based on grade level in line with the clarification from the NSIWC before implementing the new 20 per cent / 28 per cent increment as applicable. The CPA which was as a result of the minimum wage approval in April 2019 was implemented in May 2021 based on pay-band application with subsequent payment of 24 months arrears covering from April 2019 to April 2021. It is, therefore, instructive to mention that arrears reconciliation arising from the re-implementation of the CPA based on grade level is set aside pending further directive.
