As verification for pensioners of Federal Mortgage Finance Limited and Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) continues across the country, the Executive Secretary, Dr. Chioma Ejikeme, has called on pensioners in Kano, Yola and environs who are yet to do the “I Am Alive” Confirmation to visit some designated centres in the state to do so today.
She urged them to visit Federal Secretariat Complex at 1, Murtala Mohammed Way, Kano, Kano State or Federal Secretariat Complex, Ground Floor, Yola, Adamawa State for assistance.
She said the verification in Kano and Adamawa holds from Monday August 12 To Wednesday, August 14 from 8am-5pm.
She also urged pensioners to beware of fraudsters, noting that PTAD will never request for Bank Verification Number (BVN), ATM Card Details, ATM Card Pin for“I Am Alive” Confirmation or cash to process pension payment.
Ejikeme said PTAD had since July 29, commenced verification of pensioners of the Federal Mortgage Finance Limited and Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria under the Defined Benefit Scheme across the country.
She stressed that pensioners should note that they do not have to travel to the state they retired from to be verified.
She said they could be verified at any of the centres in the geo-political zones that they reside.
She also said mobile verification would be conducted for the sick and infirm pensioners.
She added: “The original documents of the pensioners must be brought to the verification venue with proof of infirmity for authentication, before mobile verification can be scheduled.
“Pensioners are advised to be wary of fraudsters as Pension payment is free. PTAD will never request for cash to process your pension. Email: monitoring@ptad.gov.ng to report suspicious phone calls or messages.’’
