Pension complaints and solutions

OLABISI: Hello, you requested for my PEN number, name and PFA and I have provided them. I have also submitted my application. But, I am yet to be paid 25 per cent for loss of job.

PENCOM: Dear Mr Olabisi, please contact your PFA on the next steps as the application is incomplete.

ANIEMA: Hello, my late mum’s pension fund has not been paid since she passed on in 2019. Her name is Aniema. Until her untimely death, she worked at the Federal Science and Technical College (FSTC), Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Her daughter, who is the next of kin, is Favour. I have submitted the necessary documents to Stanbic IBTC Pension. Kindly assist us so that favour can start university and her younger siblings too.

PENCOM: Dear sir, the death benefit has been processed/paid in July 2023. The named beneficiary is advised to contact PFA.

ABUBAKAR: Dear sir, my name is Abubakar from Ilorin. I worked at the Danish Yogurt Company, Fanmilk PLC, for 31 years.  A workplace accident made them sack me without compensation. I beg to use this forum to appeal to the CSR’s conscience of Fanmilk PLC and  Embassy of Denmark. Thank you.PENCOM: Not under our purview. Contact NSITF, please.FOLORUNSO: My name is Folorunso. I worked with Vanguard and later joined The Nigerian Tribune. On joining Tribune, Stanbic IBTC Pension opened a new RSA account for me, the same Stanbic did with Vanguard. I have double PEN registrations and I am having difficulties in accessing my funds. For over a year, I have kept writing Stanbic and the DG of PenCom but nothing has come out of it. After much pressure, Stanbic claimed to have harmonised the two PEN account numbers and it was left for PenCom in Abuja to give approval for me to access my funds. My findings show that it will take another one year to get PenCom’s approval. Please, what can I do to get the urgent attention of the PenCom DG to resolve my pension issue?

PENCOM: Send the PIN numbers

ODUNSI: Hello Omobola, my name is Odunsi. I complained about African Alliance Insurance not paying my February and March annuities insurance scheme. Due to your intervention, they paid me in April. But they have refused to pay again as I am yet to receive May and June payment.

I am speaking on behalf of many pensioners with the African Alliance. We want to know whether the company is going bankrupt. We rely on these peanuts paid as monthly pension to survive. At present, it is becoming a nightmare to get peanuts. Thanking you in anticipation for your swift intervention once again.IORLIAM: My name is Iorliam.
