FG begins mop-up biometric verification of 21,000 pensioners

The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), has begun another round of biometric verification exercises for about 21,000 Federal Government pensioners who were not verified during the exercise held in 2019 in the southwest region of the country but were bonafide pensioners.

While speaking with newsmen in Ibadan at the biometric verification of pensioners who retired from the federal civil service, under the Defined Benefit Scheme, DBS, yesterday, the Executive Secretary of PTAD, Dr Chioma Ejikeme, stated that the exercise was basically for Federal Government pensioners who were left out for one reason or the other in the 2019 exercise, held in the Southwest.

While speaking with newsmen in Ibadan at the biometric verification of pensioners who retired from the federal civil service, under the Defined Benefit Scheme, DBS, yesterday, the Executive Secretary of PTAD, Dr Chioma Ejikeme, stated that the exercise was basically for Federal Government pensioners who were left out for one reason or the other in the 2019 exercise, held in the Southwest.

“So, this is for all those people who feel that they are unknown, that they are not captured, who knew that they are bonafide.

“We are asking all of them to avail themselves of this opportunity, to come and get verified because without that verification we won’t have a view on our database.”

She, however, said the agency has left no stone unturned to get rid of the activities which bedevilled the old pension regime.

“When PTAD was established, it inherited a myriad of problems that had bedevilled the old pension offices namely, the Police, the Civil Service, Customs, Immigration and Prisons (CIPPO), as well as the Boards of Trustees of Parastatals and Agencies, which were poorly managed and underfunded.”

“A lot of material and human resources have been deployed to make the agency deliver on its goal,” he added.

Another pensioner, Mr Kunle Ajibade, who described the exercise as very smooth commended the management of PTAD for putting up a water-tight arrangement for the smooth conduct of the exercise.

Ojo, said: “The process is very nice and smooth. Once you have your whole documents, you have no problems, in a few minutes you are done.”

“The documents they requesting from you are Letter of your first appointment, letter or gazette of confirmation of your appointment, letter or gazette of your last promotion, birth certificate or declaration of age, and National Identity, Card.”

“The way they do it now is so nice because the exercise is well-coordinated and orderly. It is first come first served. I commend PTAD,” he said.
