While five states are regularly funding the accrued rights and Retirement Savings Accounts of their workers under the Contributory Pension Scheme, all the states have backlog of arrears that make retirees to wait for a few years after retirement before they get paid,All state governments’ retirees in the country suffer either outright non-payment or long waits to access their pension benefits under the Contributory Pension Scheme.
The commission listed theses five states that were funding the accrued rights of their workers regularly and commenced payment of pensions as Lagos, Kaduna, FCT, Osun and Delta. Out of the five states operating other pension schemes, four states had adopted the Contributory Defined Benefits Scheme while one operates the Defined Benefits Scheme.
Kano State was yet to transfer its pension funds to licensed operators, and had huge arrears of pension liabilities as of the end of the review period. Fajobi said, “The waiting period is also of concern for those who are accessing it. We have people waiting for two, three years before they can access any fund from the CPS after retirement.The President, Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, Bola Audu, said any state that was not ready for the CPS should not start it, and those who started should endeavour to run it properly and not frustrate retirees.
What became obvious was that employees of states and local governments were not covered by or were excluded from the coverage of the Pension Reform Act 2004, he said.
Ogun govt, deducted civil servant contribution over 100 months without remittance, while public officer goes with severance package after 4yrs, Civil servants hopes are lost...a legalization of corruption for the Civil servants, because they will steal to secure their future
The fact that Enugu state is no where to be found is sad..we re in trouble in this country
Crooks. They better pay up iron and steel workers.
The present crops of State governors are the worst set of crooks Nigeria's ever had
Most Governors are converting workers pensions to projects funds and official use. This nation needs a total overhaul.
And you wonder why people finishing serving their nation but can be paid their pensions. Very sad! The commission listed these five states that were funding the accrued rights of their workers regularly and commenced payment of pensions as Lagos, Kaduna, FCT, Osun and Delta

What about private organizations that are not remitting
Ogun State is No1 😢
Imagine those beast.... They will now keep on blaming Buhari for everything whereby they are not holding their governors responsible 🙁
Yahoo,Yahoo Governors.

Ogun state in particular. The past administration failed in this aspect.
