The payment of retirees under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) is managed by the Pension Funds Administrators (PFAs). In line with this, KDSG will only pay the past savings or accrued rights of retirees prior to the commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in 2017 to retirees’ PFAs.
Kaduna State Pension Bureau hereby informs the beneficiaries and families of deceased beneficiaries in Batch 54 to visit their PFA branches as payments have commenced.
