The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate has begun a digital verification programme to fish out ghost and dead government pensioners under the directorate. Unveiling the ‘I’m Alive’ Confirmation Solution on Friday in Abuja, the directorate noted that the verification exercise would begin with the Police Directorate from April 14 to October 13, 2023. During the unveiling, the Executive Secretary of PTAD, Dr Chioma Ejikeme, said that the technology would reduce the cost and stress of the old field verification method. Looking for a solution that would eliminate field verifications became imperative and gave birth to the I Am Alive Confirmation Solution. PTAD has over the years promised that the era of bringing out our aged pensioners for field verification is over, and we are standing by this promise.”
