I worked for 5years for my company and at such, I am entitled to some money as pay off. I resigned my appointment on the 27th Feb 2024 which my company received. They failed to act on the letter and erroneously paid me Mar salary. When I went for my clearance, they insisted that I must pay back the salary to the company's account before they can clear me and give me letter of exit to enable me process my retirement benefits from my Pension Fund Administration. I have 1.2 millions with them while the salary my former company paid me was 170k.

Now, my PFA is insisting that, I must present a letter of termination of appointment or letter of acceptance of resignation from my former company before I can be paid my 1.2million. I am a military pensioner and entitled to all my contributions as the rule stipulated.

I don't have 170k to pay, I am already out of job because, I intend to use the 1.2 million to start a business. My 1.2millions is hanging because my former company is demanding that I pay back the 170k before I can be giving the letter.

Please what do I do? Bills that are hanging on my neck are in that money. School fees, feeding, rent etc. Meanwhile, my pension remittance from my former employer to my PFA has stopped, an evidence that I am no longer in the active job but yet, the PFA is insisting on the letter. Please advice me.

Take a loan of 170k from anywhere and remit to your former employer since that's the only condition you have to meet before they can process your emoluments.

You didn't plan this your resignation strategically, you did it hastily.
