NUP accuses Maina of destroying pensioners documents

The Federal Civil Service Pensioners of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) has accused the embattled ex-chairman of presidential Tacks force, Abdulrasheed Maina of destroying document meant for genuine pensioners to justify his claimed of ghost pensioners in the country.
The Senior citizens speaking through its chairman, Comrade Sunday Omezi yesterday in Abuja, said such allegations can be verified at the PTAD office.
He said “Ordinarily, we would not have considered it necessary to address this Press Conference, but for the exigency of setting the records straight, we feel compelled to react to some salient issues which have been thrown up by recent developments, one of which is the saga of the reinstatement of Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team into the service with promotion after his abscondment and dismissal from the service, and subsequent placement on wanted list by the EFCC, consequent on corruption charges.
“It is indeed imperative to recall here one of the several malpractices that characterised the activities of the erstwhile Chairman while he held sway in office between 2010 and 2013 which involved the deliberate mutilation of records of some genuine pensioners and removal of same from the payroll, all in an attempt to justify his claim of discovery of ghost pensioners and sanitisation of the system thereof.
“The allegation we have made here can be verified at PTAD, as it is currently reinstating victims of the unwholesome practice of the discredited Pension Reform Task Team”.
The group further stated that the Federal Civil Service Pensioners, which is affiliated to Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) is duly constituted with an existing inaugurated National body charged with the full responsibility of administering its affairs.
It added also that the National Body of the Federal Civil Service Pensioners has not mandated any person or group of persons to apply for registration on its behalf.
