The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) has postponed the resumption of the walk-in verification exercise for pensioners under the defined benefit scheme (DBS).
This was announced in a statement by Olugbenga Ajayi, PTAD spokesperson, on Friday.
PTAD said the postponement is in line with the federal government’s directive on ensuring safe practice of COVID-19 protocols.
“Pensioners under the civil service pension department (CSPD); the police pensions department (PPD); the customs, immigration prisons pension department (CIPPD); and parastatal pension department (PaPD) will be affected by this suspension,” it said.

“We wish to assure all pensioners that have requested for the walk-in verification that they will be contacted and scheduled for the exercise when the walk-in verification resumes.”
PTAD had announced the suspension of its walk-in verification for pensioners on December 10, 2020, and scheduled the resumption for January 19, 2021.
However, there has been fears of a second wave of coronavirus transmission with Nigeria experiencing an upsurge in COVID-19 cases.
