The Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr. Shamseldeen Babatunde Ogunjimi, has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to pension payments under the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS).

He emphasised that safeguarding the welfare of senior citizens remains a top priority for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

Ogunjimi gave the assurance during a visit by the Executive Secretary of the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), Tolulope Odunaiya, to the Treasury House in Abuja.

The PTAD Executive Secretary commended the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) for its support.

She noted that the visit was aimed at further strengthening the strategic partnership between both institutions to ensure effective and impactful management of the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS) pensions.

Ogunjimi commended PTAD’s dedication and achievements despite prevailing fiscal constraints, and pledged continued support to the Directorate under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

He said pension payments remain a non-negotiable priority, and the OAGF will continue to work closely with PTAD to ensure their welfare is protected.
