NASU decries non-remittance of deducted pension by government

NASU members at their National Executive Council, NEC meeting in Abuja, also faulted the non-enactment of pension law by the state government, saying it was aimed to further impoverish the workers at retirement.

NASU in the communiqué by its President and General Secretary, Dr Makolo Hassan and Prince Peters Adeyemi, respectively, said NEC-in-Session notes the decision of the Federal Government to fully comply with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act, PRA, 2014. “NEC-in-Session expresses dismay at the greed, avarice, and self-centeredness of our political ruling class as exemplified by the unfairness and lack of concern for the welfare of workers, pensioners and taxpayers by the majority of state governors, past and present, to the pension of employees of states and local governments they superintended over.

“NEC further notes that there are still state governments without pension laws for their workers, thereby leaving their retirees in abject poverty and destitution. Even some of the states that have enacted laws are not complying with pension laws of their states by not remitting both employees and employer’s pension contributions to employees’ Retirement Savings Accounts, RSAs, with Pension Fund Administrators, PFAs.
