The Head, Corporate Communications of PenCom, Mr. Peter
Aghahowa, made the disclosure in a statement made available to newsmen on
Friday in Abuja.
He said that PenCom had developed an online application that
automated the Annual Pre-Retirement Verification and Enrolment Exercise for
retirees/prospective retirees of Treasury- Funded Federal Government MDAs.
Aghahowa said that the online enrolment application went
live on Sept. 1, and retirees and prospective retirees were given a deadline of
Oct. 29, to conclude the enrolment process.
He said that only employees of Federal Government
Treasury-Funded MDAs are eligible to participate in the 2021 online
verification and enrollment exercise.
He said the exercise involved “employees who retired from
January to October 2021, employees who are due to retire from November to
December 2021 and retirees that missed the previous enrollment exercises from
2007 to 2019.”
He said that in the “Self-Assisted Registration”:
“The affected retirees/prospective retirees are required to
visit PenCom’s website www.pencom.gov.ng to initiate the online enrollment
process by registering and capturing their employment details.
“Also, upload scanned copies of the required documents
before proceeding to their respective Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) for the
physical verification and enrollment.”
He said that in the Pension Desk Officer (PDO) PFA-Assisted
Registration, retirees, prospective retirees unable to complete their online
registration could approach the PDOs of their respective MDAs or visit their
PFAs for assistance.(NAN)
