The screening process embarked by the Federal Government to
fill in the leadership gap in the National Pension Commission (PenCom) has
reached an advance stage, Inspen has
learnt.
Investigations revealed that barely unforeseen
circumstances, a substantive Director General and Commissioners to steer the
affairs of the commission would be appointed soon.
A source who is privy
to the screening said tremendous process has been made on the screening process
to fill the directors and commissioners, adding that the commission is
presently standing on a good footing as the former Director General laid a
strong institution to keep the commission afloat.
It would be recalled that following the expiration of the
tenure of the Chairman and Executive Committee members of the Board of PenCom,
which came up on December 16, 2012, the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF) directed that the affairs of the commission be handed over to
the Acting Director General Mrs Chinelo Anohu-Amazu, who is the most Senior
General Manager.
Anohu-Amazu was part
of the team of experts that midwife the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), she
served in the Fola Adeola Pension Reform Committee set up by the former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, whose work led to the enactment of the Pension
Reform Act 2004, and received a presidential commandment for quality of work
done on the 2004 pension reform.
