Retired and retiring officers of the FCTA and six Area Councils of the nation’s capital city have been reassured of access to prompt pension service delivery in the Territory.
According to FCT Administration that gave this assurance, the commitment to its realisation is being strengthened by the development of the Operational Manual by the Federal Area Council Service Pension Board (FCT- ACSPB).
FCT Permanent Secretary, Olusade Adesola, made the assertion at the official launch of the manual, at the 5th ACSPB Pension management system retreat, with the Theme: Operational Manual: An Administrative tool for efficient pension delivery,
organised by FCT ACSPB and partners (PENCOM, Pension fund administrators (PFAs), underwriters and brokers.
He said FCT Administration places high premium on welfare of retiring officers, and will continue to emphasize the importance of prompt pension service delivery.
Adesola, who represented the FCT Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, noted that the launch of the Operational Manual will enable the FCT Administration galvanize staff of all Agencies under the FCTA, and in particular the Pension Board towards delivering efficient pension service to residents of the Federal Capital Territory.
According to him, in its pursuit of efficient pension service delivery, the FCT Administration has been consistent in remitting the 2.5% FCTA contribution to the Board to sustain payments to our revered Senior Citizen.
