NRC pensioners beg FG to fund payment of 33% increment arrears- Francis Igata

ENUGU— Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC, pensioners, have appealed to the Federal Government to provide funds to enable the management of NRC offset the arrears of the 33 per cent increment due to them between 2009 and 2013.
The Eastern district secretary, Nigeria Union of Railway Pensioners, NURP, Mr. Obi Uyanne, said “our members are dying every day. The paltry amount paid to us as pensions does not reflect the present economic realities on ground.
“Federal Government should quickly make funds available to Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, to offset the arrears of 33 per cent owed to us since 2009. Most of our members have been short paid during retirement.”
