The National Pension Commission (PenCom) has announced the commencement of the 2023 online verification and enrollment exercise for retirees/prospective retirees of the federal government treasury-funded ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).
In a statement issued on Thursday, the commission said the exercise will begin on October 17, 2022.
It said those eligible for the 2023 verification and enrolment exercise are employees of the federal government treasury-funded MDAs scheduled to retire in 2023 and employees of the federal government treasury-funded MDAs who missed the enrollment exercises in previous years.
According to PenCom, the prerequisite for the exercise is, “prior to enrolment, all retirees/prospective retirees are required to visit their PFAs and undergo the data recapture exercise”.

“Retirees/prospective retirees who had undergone the data recapture exercise earlier are not required to repeat it.”
Explaining the enrolment process, PenCom said self-assisted 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 enrollment.
