PTAD, ICPC collaborate to fight pension scammers

THE Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) is collaborating with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other related Offences Commission (ICPC) to fight pension fraudsters and scammers in Nigeria.

Speaking during a courtesy visit to the ICPC Chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, in Abuja, the Executive Secretary of PTAD, Dr. Chioma Ejikeme, said the directorate was intensifying efforts to fight scammers, noting that the fight was yielding  positive results.

Ejikeme appreciated the ICPC chairman for continued support, particularly during the just concluded Parastatals Pensioners Verification Exercise.

“The two agencies agreed to share information, especially with regard to court processes and arraignment of pension fraudsters and scammers.

“This will among other things ensure tabs are kept on criminal activities and ensure more convictions,” she stated.

ProfessorOwasanoye commended Dr. Ejikeme and her team for the good job they are doing at PTAD.

He also reaffirmed his determination to continue to collaborate with PTAD to achieve success in the fight against the pension criminals.
