London \u2013 No fewer than 145 registered Nigerian pensioners resident in the UK are to participate in the biometric data capturing exercise for pensioners scheduled to start from March 1.<\/p>\n

Mr Charles Bonat, Permanent Secretary, Establishment and Records Office in the Office of the Head of Service, made this known in London.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will take their biometrics which include finger prints and photographs to verify main documents of retirement including\u00a0 letters of first appointment or gazette of same, confirmation, last promotion, retirement documents and two passport photographs each.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce their documents are verified, their bank account numbers are verified and their biometrics captured, it will lead to seamless payment of pension monthly,\u2019\u2019 Bonat said.<\/p>\n

On the fate of the British ex-colonial officers, Bonat said the exercise would not cover them for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exercise for now does not cover the category of British colonial pensioners but we have been informed of some pensioners that are still alive but worked under the colonial administration,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

He stated that although such cases would be looked into, government was more concerned with pensioners that retired under the Pay-As-You-Go system.<\/p>\n

He commended the Nigerian High Commission for its collaboration in ensuring that the exercise came to fruition.<\/p>\n

Bonat said he hoped that pensioners across Western Europe would avail themselves of the opportunity and get registered, adding, \u201cthose that will miss, will have to travel to Abuja to be captured.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The exercise is expected to end on Friday. (NAN)<\/p>\n
