Information just coming in indicate
that security agents may have commenced investigation into an alleged scam
running into billions of naira said to have been discovered at the Pension
Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) of the Federal Ministry of Finance,
sources hinted.
Although details of the alleged scam
are still sketchy, but it is believed that the Director-General of the organization,
Nellie Mayshak, may have been placed on indefinite suspension to allow for
investigation.
TheCable learnt that the recently
introduced biometric registration by banks exposed a lot of shady dealings in
the directorate.
PTAD was established in August
2013 under the Pension Reform Act (PRA) of 2004 to oversee the
management of pensions under the defined benefit scheme for pensioners not
transiting to the defined contributory scheme.
It was also learnt that Mayshak is allegedly on a monthly salary
of N60 million, thought to be the highest for any government official in
the federation.
