THE Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria has called on the National Assembly to amend the pension law to provide more robust packages for retired civil servants.
The National President of the association, Shehu Muhammed, made this known at a news conference, yesterday, in Lagos.
Muhammed noted that issues surrounding pensions had persisted for years, with numerous attempts to address them proving unsuccessful.
He stated that some employers fail to remit their contributions to the National Pension Commission, leaving affected employees unable to access their terminal benefits until the employer fulfils their obligations.
“From this, you can see that there is no difference between the old system and the new system; we are essentially back to square one, where retirees spend years without accessing their terminal benefits,” Muhammed said.
