Lagos State Pays N57.7 Billion in Pension Benefits to 16,340 Retirees Over Five Years

The Lagos State government has disbursed a total of N57.7 billion in pension benefits to 16,340 retirees since the commencement of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's administration in May 2019. The disclosure came from Mr. Afolabi Ayantayo, the Commissioner for Establishments, Training, and Pension, during the 102nd Retirement Presentation held by the Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC) in Lagos on Tuesday. The beneficiaries encompass retirees from various sectors, including Mainstream, Local Government, State Universal Basic Board (SUBEB), Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), and state government parastatals. Commissioner Ayantayo emphasized that Lagos State has been at the forefront of efficiently managing the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) since its inception in 2007, demonstrating a commitment to meeting pension obligations. Expressing gratitude for the retirees' hard work, Ayantayo stated, "The state government is truly grateful for your hard work and recognizes the need to protect your retirement benefits." He highlighted the government's commitment to the CPS, aiming to ensure retirees receive regular income during their retirement. The commissioner presented retirement bonds during the ceremony, emphasizing that they symbolize enduring gratitude and respect for the retirees' years of dedication. Ayantayo remarked, "The bonds you have forged, the wisdom you have shared, and the legacy you have built would continue to inspire us." Acknowledging the retirees' service, the commissioner assured that the state government remains dedicated to implementing policies supporting their well-being. The Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC), established by the Lagos State Contributory Pension Scheme Law 2007, plays a crucial role in regulating, supervising, and ensuring effective pension administration in the state public service. The objectives of the Pension Reform Law include assisting employees in saving for retirement, timely payment of retirement benefits, and establishing rules for pension administration in the public service. The law also introduced a group life policy for death benefits during service and a Retirement Bond for employees with past service benefits, along with a Redemption Fund to meet bond payment liabilities.

Retired actuary Charles Herbert has raised an alarm over the major decline in the number of people contributing to the National Insurance (NIS), as he questioned Government’s rationale for continuing to pay non-contributory pensions. “I don’t really understand the room for non-contributory pension. That doesn’t seem to be accountable to the public,” he said on Tuesday night during an Institute of Chartered Account of Barbados (ICAB) webinar on Our NIS - The Way Forward. The latest review of the NIS showed that the number of employees plus self-employed contributors to the scheme had fallen from 126 802 in 2007 to 105 585 last year, and could decline further this year to 104 384. The number of employers contributing also declined from 8 272 in 2007 to 5 909 in 2021. That figure is expected to remain the same this year. Herbert insisted that while Government could not avoid making adjustments to the structure of the NIS, he believed a “huge” part of the solution for the scheme was capturing self-employed individuals. “A big part of the discussion has to be how do we get the self-employed people on board,” he said, as he expressed alarm at the decline in the number of self-employed contributors in the last 15 years. “Where have these people dropped out? I don’t know what information National Insurance keeps, but where have these 20 000 people disappeared from? Is it one particular industry that has suddenly stopped employing people and instead employing some on contract where they are self-employed? We need to bring to bear on this problem more than has been brought to bear so far, and I believe that information is there,” he said. Describing the current situation facing the pay-as-you-go scheme as “a very slow tsunami”, Herbert said “there are many of us who have been raising these concerns for multiple years.” With Barbados’ ageing population, he said, it was critical for the number of contributors to remain high. However, he questioned if adjusting the retirement age to maintain the ratio between pensioners and contributors would be acceptable.

The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) on Tuesday said it would verify more than 813 pensioners under the Defunct Benefit Scheme (DBS) of Bank of Agriculture Ltd., across the country. PTAD Executive Secretary, Dr Chioma Ejikeme said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sideline of the South-West zone verification mop up exercise for Parastatal Payroll pensioners and Bank of Agriculture pensioners in Lagos. Ejikeme said that the directorate had made provision for the payment of the monthly pension of the pensioners in its 2022 budget. “In 2018, when the Bank of Industry approached PTAD to take over the pension of its defunct pensioners, we were given a list of 853 pensioners, but presently we have 813 pensioners. “This means the difference would have been deceased pensioners, but we are still making provision for the difference because some of them may be represented by their Next of Kin,” she said. According to her, many of the benefitting pensioners have retired way back before the introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) and were not part of the Treasury Funded Agencies but of the Poverty Alleviation Agencies. The executive secretary listed the Agencies that formed the Bank of Agricultural Ltd., to include; the Peoples Bank, Nigeria Agricultural Community Bank and the Family Economic Advancement Programme. Ejikeme said, “We have already unboarded the staff of People’s Bank. These are workers who retired before the June 2007 cut off line for the Defunct Benefit Scheme (DBS) and did not transit to the CPS. “We will validate the verification that we have done through laid down procedures, carry out further quality assurance, computation and placement on the payroll.’’ The executive secretary explained that the exercise was organised to address complaints from some pensioners that they were not verified and appropriately placed on the payroll during the last verification. Ejikeme said having concluded with the South-West zone within one week, the directorate would proceed to verify pensioners within the North-Central zone in Abuja and then to pensioners in the North-West zone which would be verified in Kano. “For the other zones, we are going to work out a mobile verification strategy because there are not too many pensioners there. “We actually looked at the geographical spread of the pension before taking a decision on how to go about it. “We have started working on the Parastatals Payroll Pensioners and quite a lot of them who are eligible to be on the payroll have been placed,” she said. The Head of Human Resources, Bank of Agriculture Ltd., Mrs Tsukunda Yakubu lauded PTAD and the Federal Government for taking over the payment of its defunct pensioners monthly benefits. “We have been working with PTAD for sometime to set out the timetable for the verification even before the appointment of the executive secretary, but she keyed into it as soon as she came on board. “The executive secretary had put all machineries in place to ensure that this happens and the pensioners are very happy about it. “Bank of Industry is happy that PTAD is taking over the pension of our retirees. “With this, the load the bank is carrying for years now is being taking off its shoulders, it will no longer worry about how to pay its pensioners, knowing that PTAD is in charge,” she said. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that some pensioners or their Next of Kin across the South-West zone had showing up for the exercise. The exercise is expected to run for a week in the zone.

Pensions: Katsina, Imo, 19 others not remitting deductions from workers’ pay

By Tony Ademiluyi

Since the implementation of the Pension Reform Act in 2004 by the National Pension Commission, a total of 21 state governments have yet to remit pension deducted from workers’ pay. Part of the objectives of the Pension Reform Act is to ensure that every person who worked either in the public service of the federation, Federal Capital Territory, states and Local Government Areas or the private sector receives his/her retirement benefits as and when due. Through the Pension Reform Act, the commission has been able to establish a uniform set of rules, regulations and standards for all aspects of pension administration, including payment of retirement benefits to retirees among others. An investigation by our correspondent showed that while 21 states were not remitting pension deducted from workers’ pay, 15 of them were remitting but at different stages of remittance. The 21 states that are not remitting pension under the Contributory Pension Scheme are Ogun, Niger, Kano, Imo, Sokoto, Kogi, Bayelsa, Nasarawa, Oyo, Katsina, Akwa Ibom, Benue and Plateau. Others are Cross River, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi, Taraba, Bauchi, Borno and Adamawa. A report on the compliance rate of states with the Pension Reform Act obtained from PenCom showed that Ogun State stopped remitting pension contributions with huge arrears of unremitted pension. The report said while Ogun State was funding the accrued rights of employees, there was no valid group life insurance policy in place in the state for workers. For Niger State, the commission in the report stated that it stopped remitting pension contributions in 2015, adding that the government of the state was also not funding accrued rights and no group life insurance policy in place. Further analysis of the report showed that apart from not remitting pension deducted from workers’ pay, Imo, Kebbi, Sokoto, Bayelsa, Kogi, Nasarawa, Oyo, Katsina, and Akwa-Ibom states did not fund accrued rights neither did they have group life insurance policy for workers. Also, Benue, Kwara, Plateau, Cross River, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi, Taraba, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe and Adamawa have yet to fund accrued rights or put in place group insurance policy for workers. Further findings revealed that out of the 15 states that are remitting pension contributions, only four states had been remitting the pension of their workers regularly. The other nine states are at various stages of remittances. The four states with regular remittances of their workers’ pension deductions are Lagos, Edo, Kaduna and the Federal Capital Territory. The states with staggering remittances are Jigawa, Delta, Zamfara, Osun, Rivers, Kano, Ekiti and Anambra. For Jigawa State, the commission explained that the state was remitting contributions to selected Pension Fund Administrators but implementing a Contributory Defined Benefits Scheme. For Delta State, it said the state was remitting complete and regular pension contributions for state employees, but remitting only employees’ portion for local government workers. The commission added that the state-funded accrued pension rights of both local government and state workers but had huge arrears of accrued pension liabilities. The report said the state did not have group life insurance cover for its workers. For Zamfara, analysis of the report showed the state was remitting pension contributions of employees with no funding of accrued rights nor had any group life insurance policy. Osun State, according to the report, remitted pension contributions but in an inconsistent manner, “resulting in a backlog of pension contributions.” It described the state government’s funding of accrued pension rights as inadequate, noting that this had resulted in huge arrears of accrued rights. Osun State, it added, had no group life insurance policy. For Rivers State, it said the government of the state remitted only employees’ portion of pension contributions, adding that the state had a huge backlog of unremitted employer’s portion of pension contributions. It added that the state had in 2012 set aside the sum of N300m with Premium Pensions for the payment of accrued rights. For Kano State, the commission said the government was deducting pension contributions but under the management of the Board of Trustees. The state has yet to transfer the pension assets to a Licensed Pension Operator. The commission in the report also said Ekiti remitted pension contributions for state and local government employees up to January 2019, adding that the government had yet to fund accrued rights of workers. The PUNCH had on Thursday reported that states operating the Contributory Pension Scheme refused to remit about N3.4bn pension contributions deducted from their workers’ monthly remunerations into their respective Retirement Savings Accounts with their Pension Fund Administrators. The acting Director-General, National Pension Commission, Aisha Dahir-Umar, disclosed this during the second quarter consultative forum for states in Lagos recently. Dahir-Umar said, “Based on PFAs’ returns, over N3.4bn pension contributions are uncredited into state employees’ RSAs as of May 31, 2019, and the age analysis showed that over 38 per cent of this amount had been outstanding for over one year. Dahir-Umar, who was represented by the Head, States Operations Department, PenCom, Dan Ndackson, said a major item, which should occupy a pride of place during deliberations, was the recurring issue of uncredited remittances, which denied concerned employees the investment income that should have accrued to them. She added that it was heart-warming to observe the steady progress of the implementation of the CPS in the states, especially with regards to the remittance of pension contributions. “Returns submitted to the commission by the PFAs showed that over N8.09bn was remitted to them as pension contributions of state employees in the first quarter of 2019,” she said. The PenCom boss informed that the second quarter had recorded remarkable achievements in ensuring seamless implementation of the CPS in states. In this regard, she said the commission, as part of its mandate of supervising the smooth implementation of the CPS and to ensure excellent service delivery, especially in state pension administration, introduced branch inspection of PFAs in states.

The Chase Files Daily Newscap 4/21/2019

Good MORNING #realdreamchasers! Here is The Chase Files Daily News Cap for Sunday April 21st 2019. Remember you can read full articles for FREE via Barbados Today (BT) or Barbados Government Information Services (BGIS) OR by purchasing by purchasing a Sunday Sun Nation Newspaper (SS).

BOARD DOWN TO 42 BUSES – Commuters should have cleaner bus terminals and improved toilet facilities come Tuesday, but Transport Board buses will still be in short supply. This Easter weekend, all the terminals were being cleaned, painted, and bottled water distributed to commuters. The bottled water distribution will continue until water fountains are installed. However, after starting with 48 working buses yesterday morning, six broke down, and by mid-afternoon only 42 were still operating. A Transport Board source, who requested anonymity, told the Sunday Sun the board was facing major challenges, none of which can be fixed overnight. (SS)

NIS BACKLOG SLASHED �� The backlog of claims at the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) is finally being cleared. Government says 11 027 or 41 per cent of the outstanding claims were settled in the last three months. At the same time, $12.7 million was paid to 453 claimants since the new board assumed office last July – including $5.07 million paid to 100 former workers at the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation and 22 at the Transport Board last December. The outstanding claims relate to contributory and non-contributory pensions, invalidity, sickness, disability, disablement, survivor/death, retirement, maternity, unemployment, severance, employment injury, medical/travel for employment injury and funeral grants. (SS)

US$300M BOOST – Another round of major funding is in the pipeline for Barbados. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group says it will give Government access to US$300 million in “sovereign-guaranteed loans” over the next five years. The financier also wants to have “dialogue” with the Mia Mottley administration about how it can help solve public transportation and health challenges. This latest funding will be channelled to Government via the 2019-2023 country strategy approved in recent days by the IDB’s Board of Executive Directors. (SS)

CHINA READY – The People’s Republic of China is ready to join hands with Barbados for the second phase of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing, China, from April 25 to 27. The theme of this year’s BRF is Belt and Road Cooperation Shaping a Brighter Shared Future, with advancing Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation toward quality development as its core. Chinese ambassador to Barbados Yan Xiusheng will attend the opening ceremony of the BRF and make a keynote speech. During the BRF, China will welcome thousands of representatives from more than 150 countries to Beijing, inclusive of Barbados, to take stock of what has been achieved and draw a blueprint for future cooperation to further enrich BRI cooperation. “China stands ready to enhance cooperation with Barbados within the framework of BRI, to elevate our bilateral relations and pragmatic cooperation to a new height, and benefit peoples in our two countries,” the ambassador said. “I am convinced that with the concerted efforts of all the participating parties, including China and Barbados, the second BRF will deliver fruitful outcomes, create more driving forces for the economic growth, provide more opportunities for international economic cooperation, and contribute more to the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind.” Barbados is among the first countries that established diplomatic relations with China in the Caribbean region. Since the establishment of the diplomatic relations in 1977, friendly bilateral relations between the two countries have maintained healthy and steady momentum, and plenty of fruitful achievements have been made in the pragmatic cooperation across areas. Last February, the two countries signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation within the Framework of the BRI in Beijing. Since the BRI was first proposed six years ago, it has advanced work with the guidance of a principle of consultation and cooperation for shared benefits, and focusing on connectivity in the five priority areas of policy, infrastructure, trade, finance and people-to-people ties, aiming to deepen international cooperation, safeguard multilateralism, and boost global growth. (SS)

FIRST GOLD – Caleb Massiah stood tall tonight as he leapt to Barbados’ first gold medal at the 48th CARIFTA Games at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex in Grand Cayman. The 15-year-old Massiah triumphed in the Under-17 Boys’ long jump with a lifetime best leap of 6.84 metres in his maiden outing at CARIFTA. Incredibly, Massiah, who hails from Oldbury, St Philip and attends The St Michael School, after switching from Harrison College, had one legal jump and it was a golden one. That winning leap came in his first attempt and he unbelievably fouled his next four attempts. With the gold medal assured, he was the final jumper and hit the board but landed in the sandpit on one leg on his sixth jump. By then his coach, Desiree Crichlow, and assistant, Ricky Carter, were already jumping for joy. (SS)

LEAN OPENING SESSION FOR BAJANS AT CARIFTA GAMES – BARBADOS endured a lean morning session when the 48th CARIFTA Games began at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex here today with perennial champions Jamaica already stamping their authority on proceedings. No finals were contested on the track but neither Shanice Hutson nor first-timer Kevon Hinds got on the podium in their field event finals - the only two finals involving Barbadians. Shanice Hutson was fifth overall in the Under-20 girls’ discus with a best effort of 36.61 metres, well short of her personal best 43.75 metres which she achieved at the Louis Lynch Championships. First-timer Kevon Hinds had to settle for fourth place with 14.93 metres in the Under-17 boys’ shot put, which he achieved on his first attempt. Advancing to the finals of the 400 metres were Savion Hoyte (49.72), Antoni Hoyte-Small (47.41) and Kyle Gale (47.77), as did Matthew Clarke in the Under-20 boys’ 100 metres in 10.76 seconds. However, there was disappointment for sprinter Julian Forde (11 seconds) in the Under-20 Boys’ 100 metres and Shemia Odaine who clocked 58.24 seconds in the Under-20 Girls’ 400 metres.

2019 SCC Vol. 3 April 7, 2019 Part 3

Service Law — Appointment — Eligibility conditions/criteria — Cancellation of appointment — Non-fulfilment of eligibility criteria: In this case, appellant was working as Management Trainee and/or Assistant Company Secretary. The Supreme Court held that word “as” used in advertisement should be given literal meaning. Respondents, who were authors of advertisement and best judge to interpret usage of “as” specifically stating that intention was that applicant must have been appointed as Company Secretary and functioned as such for five years to be eligible for appointment. Hence, held, appellant’s appointment as Management Trainee cannot be equated and/or considered appointment “as” Company Secretary. When said period is excluded, appellant fails to fulfil stipulated eligibility criteria. Further held, submission by appellant that by performing duties as “Management Trainee” she was also performing some duties of “Company Secretary” and hence, said period should be counted to adjudge her eligibility liable to be rejected since such meaning would be changing eligibility criteria as stated in advertisement. It was further held that no interference with impugned order upholding appellant’s termination order was called for. [Ritu Bhatia v.
