The Anambra State Government says it is investigating the whereabouts of unremitted pension funds for local government workers and primary school teachers in the state.
The state Head of Service, Theodora Igwegbe, said this at a Workshop on Contributory Pension Scheme, organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress in Awka on Wednesday.
Mrs Igwegbe said the state government did not suspend the scheme.
She said that all the deductions from local government workers and primary school teachers from July 2014 and 2018 were not remitted to the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), which challenged the integrity of the system.
In a remark, Princewill Onwuka, a pension fund administrator and regional manager at Access Pensions Ltd., said a pension board or commission in Anambra was needed.
