The National Pension Commission (PenCom) said that only pensioners that have completed the online enrollment would receive payment and advised those yet to enroll online to do so as it’s a major prerequisite.

The Head, Corporate Communications of PenCom, Mr Peter Aghahowa, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.

“For those that have enrolled their payment is been processed now and payment will commence soon. The online enrollment has been on for a long time and it’s a basic criterion for every pensioner to do,” Aghahowa said.

He said that any payment to be done would be based on those that have completed the online enrollment.

“This is a transition period from manual to automated enrollment and the commission has made effort to enlighten pensioners, retirees are advised to enroll online.”

Aghahowa told NAN that the online enrolment application went live on Sept. 1, 2021 and retirees and prospective retirees were given a deadline of Oct. 29, 2021 to conclude the enrolment process, which was later extended till Dec. 31, 2021.

“However the enrollment is still on going.”

He explained that only employees of Federal Government Treasury-Funded MDAs are eligible to participate in the 2021 online verification and enrollment exercise.

“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.
