“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 however, expressed the commission’s regret over its inability to conduct physical annual pre-retirement enrolment exercise due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of the training, according to the Commissioner, is to expose the Pension Desk Officers to the newly developed online enrolment application procedures.
