Ejimeke said another reason for the payment delay was delayed responses from some organisations the deceased pensioners retired from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe expanded project will check and categorise all verified NoK files and claims of non-payment of gratuity to identify and pay all eligible NoK and pensioners with unpaid gratuity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Directorate, therefore, calls on Next-of-Kins of deceased pensioners who have been verified by PTAD but are yet to receive their payments to send their complaints to nokcomplaints@ptad.gov.ng.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is to enable the project team to investigate and resolve their complaints,\u201d Ejimeke said.<\/p>\n<p>FG commences computation for retirees, pensioners\u2019 next of kin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Federal Government agency, Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, has commenced an expanded computation project for verified pensioners and deceased&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6687,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1125,15],"tags":[180],"class_list":["post-6686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fg","category-news","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
