• Government’s overdrawn position has dropped from ₦102 billion in 2011
to ₦19 billion in 2012
The Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS):

Contributory Pension Scheme Is Sound But Defined Benefits
Scheme Is Being Reformed To Prevent Fraud
Background
Objectives
• The Federal Government Defined Pension Scheme is decentralized and managed
by several pension offices/department and is inconsistent with the intention of
the Pensions Reform Act (2007)
• The Pensions Reform Act (2007) establishes a pension department known as
Pensions Transitional Arrangement Department (PTAD) to oversee the
management of pensions under the Defined Benefits Scheme for pensioners not
transiting to the Contributory Pensions Scheme
• Following Mr. President’s directive to ensure strict compliance with the
provisions of the Pensions Reform Act (2007), the CME/HMF inaugurated
an Inter-Ministerial Committee in August 2012 headed by the Director-General
Pensions Commission (PenCom) to carry out Mr. President’s instruction
• The Inter-Ministerial task was structured into two phases:
o Phase One: Design the governance and operating framework for the
PTAD
o Phase Two: Data validation and authentication of the existing pensioners
database and the development of an authentic database
Key
Achievements
• Phase one completed and Phase Two is underway
• Result: All Defined Benefit Pension Systems for Civil Service, Police,
Prisons, Immigration, Customs etc. will be managed in one
department reporting to Ministry of Finance with direct payment to
beneficiaries based on biometrics
