Nigeria - About 3,000 ghost pensioners have been eliminated from the Nigerian police payroll.
According to the Director General of the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), Nellie Mayshak, PTAD's recent verification exercise for retired police pensioners, Customs, Immigration and Prison pensioners led to the discover.
This, she said, led to a drastic reduction in Nigerian police's payroll by N100 million monthly.
“On the good side, there were 600 pensioners that had never received any payment since they retired, which is unjust, so we are quickly going to pay those people. Through the process, we have seen that some people are underpaid while some are overpaid and so we are adjusting all that,” Mayshak stated.
