The National Orientation Agency (NOA) and the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) Tuesday agreed to work together to embark on grassroots sensitization on pension matters.

The Director-General of the National Orientation Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu and a team, led by the Executive  Secretary PTAD, Chioma Ejikeme, met today at the Agency headquarters.

The aim is to leverage the Agency’s proven and well-thought-out platforms to promote pension matters.

The DG of NOA, Issa-Onilu, expressed happiness that the Directorate had approached the right agency with the mandate, competence, structure and capabilities to conduct grassroots sensitization across the country.

He emphasized the importance of supporting pensioners, highlighting their significant contributions to the nation. Retirement, he noted, is a privilege, and those who enjoy it must receive the necessary support.

He also shared the new platforms the Agency has introduced for MDAs to communicate their activities effectively to Nigerians, including the Explainer, the Mobiliser, the agency’s robust database with diverse demographic data, and the upcoming Television and Radio stations. Additionally, he mentioned the imminent launch of the National Value Charter.

The PTAD ES concluded by expressing appreciation to the DG for providing valuable platforms and making them available for their use to better serve Nigerians.
