The Executive Secretary of Pensions Transitional Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, Sharon Ikeazor, has said that ADR machinery has been a formidable ally in the prompt resolution of pension dispute and administration. According to her, it has helped in no small measure in the dispensation of justice to our great population of pensioners on daily basis. The Executive Secretary made this statement in Abuja on Friday at a 3 day customized ADR training for legal officers of PTAD leading to certification and induction as mediators and conciliators. She emphasized that ADR enables them to work together with pensioners to reach an acceptable and amibcable settlement of dispute. She stated that before she came into office as the Executive secretary in 2016, the directorate was overloaded with unaccountable number of pensioners related complaint but with the help of ADR, all of these are things of the past. “In the course of time, we have discovered that most of the matters that end up in court, when carefully examined, are matters that could be resolved on a round table in less than few hours. “Going through the whole gamut of trial has never been the best option in the resolution of pension related disputes. “ADR indeed provides an atmosphere where we can fully understand each other’s needs and agree on the way forward. “The purpose of this training is to develop vibrant team of Mediators and Concilators who will intelligently deploy ADR skills in the pursuit of pension related dispute for the Directorate. “I am certain that this training will pave the way for the Directorate to establish at least a Mediation desk under the Legal Unit,” she said. She therefore calls on participants to make a judicious use of this opportunity offered by the customized training and acquire the right skills as it will not only profit the Directorate but a formidable platform for self development to excel in their careers as Law Officers.]]>
