Following the President’s approval of the emergency budgetary allocation for the payment of the new pension increment rates for Pensioners under the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme (DBS) that was earlier published by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate on Friday, 8th August, 2025, the Directorate has announced the commencement of the implementation of the ₦32,000, 10.66% and 12.95% pension increment for eligible pensioners under the management of PTAD, effective from the September 2025 pension payroll cycle.

PTAD in a statement said this achievement has been made possible through the partial release of ₦20.188 billion, by the Federal Ministry of Finance, from the initial ₦45 billion emergency funding approval granted by the Federal Government. This milestone clearly reaffirms the Federal Government’s dedication to safeguarding the welfare and entitlements of DBS Pensioners in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
