The Commission said, those eligible for the 2023 verification and enrolment exercise are employees of Federal Government Treasury-Funded MDAs scheduled to retire in 2023; and employees of Federal Government Treasury-funded MDAs who missed the enrolment exercises in previous years.
It said, prior to enrolment, all retirees/prospective retirees are required to visit their Pension Fund Administrators to undergo the data recapture exercise.
“The data recapture exercise entails retirees/prospective retirees providing their Retirement Savings Account (RSA) Registration details, Personal Identification Number (PIN) and their National Identity Number (NIN).
“Retirees/Prospective retirees who had undergone the data recapture exercise earlier are not required to repeat it”, it said.
The enrolment options, according to the commission, are self-assisted where retirees/prospective retirees are required to visit PenCom’s website (www.pencom.com.ng) and upload their employment details as well as scanned copies of required documents before proceeding to their respective PFAs for physical verification and enrolment.
The step-by-step procedure for the Online Enrolment is hosted on the PenCom website.
The second option is the Pension Desk Officer/PFA-Assisted which requires retirees/prospective retirees who are unable to complete the online registration for any reason to approach the Pension Desk Officer of their respective MDAs or visit their PFAs for assistance.
“Please note that Verification and Enrolment by all concerned must be completed on or before 31 December, 2022”, PenCom said.
Pencom is yet to commence payment of 2022 retirees benefits.
Retirees are now living a miserable life.
Pencom pls come to our aid.

People should help the 2022 retirees. We are yet to receive our retirement benefits. We must not wait for a year and above before being paid. We only hear that the fund has grown to 14trillions of naira but we the 2022 retirees are still waiting for our benefits. No means of livelihood, no money to feed, no money for treatment. We have turned to beggars at old age even though we have money in our individual Retirement Savings accounts. People should pls help us. The authority should come to our aid.
Pencom should pity us and save us from this hardship.

Complement of the season Hajiya, I read about date for the commencement of data recapturing exercise for prospective 2023 retirees but keep wondering why nothing is heard of some of us that retired in March 2022 and completed the rigorous execise but yet to be paid our entitlements upto now.
