The Lagos State government has approved the release of N1.030 billion for the payment of the accrued pension rights of 213 public service retirees in the state.

Mrs Folashade Onanuga, the Director-General, Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC), made the disclosure in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.

Onanuga said that the commission had released the funds to the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), which, she said, had credited the Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs) of the beneficiaries.

“To ensure the safety of all the beneficiaries, the retirement bond presentation ceremony stands cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while all retirement bond certificates for April have been released to the PFAs.

“The PFAs will invite the beneficiaries for collection and grant access to their RSAs for the computation of their lump sum and monthly pensions,” she said.

According to her, the commission has also embarked on distribution of palliatives to retirees in different locations in the state to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 induced lockdown.

The director-general urged the affected retirees to observe all precautionary measures, as advised by the state government and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in order to stay free from C0VID-19.

She disclosed that the increased funding rate of accrued pension rights of the total emoluments of active workers from five per cent to 10 per cent by the government took effect from February.

Onanuga explained that following the new pension contribution rate of 10 per cent by the state government, the employee contribution rate was now eight per cent.

According to her, the move is to clear the backlog of outstanding pension obligations and enhance the terminal entitlements of public service retirees.

She advised the retirees on the waiting list to be patient, assuring they would have access to their RSAs very soon.
