ARE YOU FACING SIMILAR PROBLEMS? Our reader Katherine raises the ALARM! “PHCN pensioners have not been paid for FOUR MONTHS now. The government is doing nothing about it. How can people who served the nation for 35 years not receive their reward? How are they supposed to survive? Many of them are on the hospital beds now because of this situation. “The problem affects many PHCN pensioners in whole Nigeria. “I have a relative who is a pensioner. The last time they were paid was in February 2014. First, the govt said the budget has not been signed by the President. Later, they said they are yet to issue out the money allocated to them. Today, we’re still waiting. Pensioners in Abuja held a peaceful demonstration in May but it yeiled nothing. Their union has been fighting too. “It appears that the government might not even be aware of the non-payment, as the money might have been embezzled.” Are you or anyone you know facing similar problems? Tell us your story!
