About 21,295 pensioners are expected to participate in the second phase of the South West verification exercise being conducted by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) in Lagos state between Monday, September 18 and Friday, September 29, 2017.
A statement from the agency said eligible civil service pensioners under the defined benefit scheme will take part in the two week exercise which will be supervised by the Executive Secretary of the PTAD, Barrister Sharon Ikeazor.
The first phase of the exercise for the south west took place in August and covered three states of Osun, Ondo and Ekiti, while Oyo and Ogun states are expected to be covered during the final phase in the zone.
Similar exercise has been concluded in four zones of the country involving 64,825 pensioners who were not payrolled for years but now verified and being paid with arrears.
The statement said the over 21000 pensioners are expected to be verified in five centres in Alausa, Yaba, Ketu, Amuwo Odofin and Agege.
It said further that the process will take four distinct steps for capturing their biodata and other relevant documents for them to be suitably placed in the payroll and database for payment of their monthly pension.
The sick and infirm will be covered in their locations, pointing out that total of 108 PTAD staff are being deployed for the exercise.
