Aisha Dahir-Umar, the Director General of National Pension Commission (PenCom), has described as “totally misleading” widespread reports that the Commission gave a N10 trillion loan to the Federal Government.
She also responded to claims that PenCom was owing the Federal Government retirees arrears of pensions as well as insinuations that Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) are not fulfilling their obligations to retirees with regards to access to their retirement savings.
Mrs. Dahir-Umar, in a media interview at the weekend, said apart from the fact that PenCom is not a bank and does not warehouse or manage pension funds, the Federal Government did not take a loan of N10 trillion from the Commission.
