By Ngozi Onyeakusi— In a bid to ensure easy, smooth and hitch free enrolment, verification and computation of benefits by retirees, the National Pension Commission (PENCOM)  has unveiled an online enrolment application into the industry.

Disclosing this, at the opening of a two-day training for the Pension Desk Officers in Kano, the Commissioner, Technical Department, PenCom, Anyim Nyerere, said the application was developed for easy capturing.

Represented by the Head, Contributory and Bond Redemption Department of the Commission, Mr Saleem Abdurrahman, the Commissioner further stated,
“The New application will provide guidance accordingly, and will help to compute retirees’ accurate retirement benefits.
“The application will also be hosted on the commission’s website and will enable prospective retirees log on to register their details,” he said.

He assured that the rationale behind the training was to expose the Pension Desk Officers to the newly developed online enrolment application procedures adding that the officers when trained, would guide the retirees on how to complete and ensure accuracy in the information to be submitted online.
