The National Pension Commission has extended the timeline for the online enrolment exercise from 29th October, 2021 to 31st December, 2021 in order to ensure that all eligible persons complete the enrolment process.
Persons Eligible to participate in the 2021 online Verification and Enrolment Exercise are employees who retired from January to October 2021, those who are due to retire from November to December 2021 and retirees that missed the previous enrolment exercises from 2007 to 2019.
It will be recalled that the Commission 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.
The Commission’s statement recalls that “The online enrolment application went live on 1st September, 2021 and Retirees and prospective Retirees were given a deadline of 29th October, 2021 to conclude the enrolment.
“The affected retirees/prospective retirees are required to visit PenCom’s website www.pencom.gov.ng to initiate the online enrolment process by registering and capturing their employment details as well as uploading scanned copies of the required documents before proceeding to their respective Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) for the physical verification and enrolment” the Commission stated.
In the alternative, “Retirees/prospective retirees who are unable to complete the online registration could approach the PDOs of their respective MDAs or visit their PFAs for assistance”, the statement added.
