Crisis hits Pension unions over check-off dues
On
By Johnbosco Agbakwuru – Abuja
The Federal Civil Service Pensioners, FCSP, have written to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige to stop the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, from paying Check-up dues accruing from the payment of pension arrears to the National Union of Pensioners, NUP.
Already FCSP has concluded plans to set up a committee to carry out the registration of the union as an independent body.
Addressing journalists on Thursday in Abuja, the National Chairman of the FCSP, Comrade Omeiza Sunday said that the protracted impasse between his group and the NUP was occasioned by the “blatant refusal of the National Headquarters of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) to give us the commensurate allocation of the 55% share of the 1% Check-off Dues accruable the Federal Civil Service Pensioners Branch (FCSPB).
