Here are the calculations for the death benefits and pensions, based on the information provided. Please note that specific pension and gratuity rules for the Nigerian Public Sector are not provided in the question. Therefore, standard assumptions based on common public sector practices have been made and are stated below.

Assumptions:

  • The individual referred to as "Captain Chukwuemeka" in part (a) is assumed to be Mr. Adigun Ayomide, as he is the subject of the narrative.
  • "Mrs. Comfort" in part (b) is assumed to be Miss Ketura Gana, Mr. Adigun Ayomide's legal wife.
  • Total Annual Emoluments are considered for benefit calculations, which include basic salary and allowances.
  • Years of Service are rounded up to the nearest full year if the months are 6 or more.
  • Death Gratuity for death in service is assumed to be 3 times the Total Annual Emoluments.
  • Widow's Annual Pension is assumed to be 30% of the deceased's Total Annual Emoluments.
  • Children's Annual Pension is assumed to be 10% of the deceased's Total Annual Emoluments, shared equally among eligible children. Eligible children are those under 18 years whose paternity is accepted.

Step 1: Calculate Total Annual Emoluments and Years of Service.
Annual Basic Salary = N2,640,000
Annual Allowances = 105%×Annual Basic Salary=1.05×N2,640,000=N2,772,000105\% \times \text{Annual Basic Salary} = 1.05 \times N2,640,000 = N2,772,000
Total Annual Emoluments = Annual Basic Salary + Annual Allowances

N2,640,000+N2,772,000=N5,412,000N2,640,000 + N2,772,000 = N5,412,000

Date of Commissioning: 3/10/1986
Date of Death: 5/3/2013
Service Period: From 3/10/1986 to 5/3/2013 is 26 years and 6 months.
Rounding up (as per assumption), Years of Service = 27 years.

Part a· 2 steps

Death benefit of Captain Adigun Ayomide

  1. Calculate Death Gratuity.

    Assumption: Death Gratuity = 3×Total Annual Emoluments3 \times \text{Total Annual Emoluments}
    Death Gratuity = 3×N5,412,000=N16,236,0003 \times N5,412,000 = N16,236,000

  2. Calculate Net Death Benefit.

    Outstanding Car Loan = N2,500,000
    Net Death Benefit = Death Gratuity - Outstanding Car Loan

    N16,236,000−N2,500,000=N13,736,000N16,236,000 - N2,500,000 = N13,736,000

    The death benefit of Captain Adigun Ayomide is N13,736,000\boxed{N13,736,000}.

Part bN1,623,600

Pension accrue to Mrs. Ketura Gana (assuming "Mrs. Comfort" refers to her)

  1. Calculate Widow's Annual Pension.

    Assumption: Widow's Annual Pension = 30%×Total Annual Emoluments30\% \times \text{Total Annual Emoluments}
    Widow's Annual Pension = 0.30×N5,412,000=N1,623,6000.30 \times N5,412,000 = N1,623,600
    The annual pension accruing to Mrs. Ketura Gana is N1,623,600\boxed{N1,623,600}.

Part cN541,200

Pensions accrue to the children.

  1. Identify Eligible Children.

    • Children from Ketura Gana: 4 children. The first daughter Precilla got married before Mr. Adigun's death, making her ineligible. So, 3 eligible children from Ketura Gana.
    • Child out of wedlock: Bameyi, whose paternity was accepted, making him eligible.
    • All these children are stated to be under 18 years. Total Eligible Children = 3+1=43 + 1 = 4 children.
  2. Calculate Total Children's Annual Pension and Pension per Child.

    Assumption: Total Children's Annual Pension = 10%×Total Annual Emoluments10\% \times \text{Total Annual Emoluments}
    Total Children's Annual Pension = 0.10×N5,412,000=N541,2000.10 \times N5,412,000 = N541,200
    Pension per Child = Total Children's Annual Pension / Number of Eligible Children

    N541,200/4=N135,300N541,200 / 4 = N135,300

    The total annual pension accruing to the children is N541,200\boxed{N541,200}, which is N135,300\boxed{N135,300} per child.
