The National Pension Commission, in line with the provisions of Section 15 of the Pension Reform Act 2014 and as part of the implementation process of the issuance of the Federal Government Retirement Bond, is organising a pre-retirement verification and enrollment exercise for employees in the service of the Federal Government of Nigeria Treasury-funded Ministries, Departments and Agencies that are due for retirement between January and December 2018, by virtue of attaining 60 years of age or 35 years in service, whichever is earlier, or 65 years and 70 years of age for employees of tertiary institutions. The exercise is expected to cover employees, who have either voluntarily retired or withdrawn their services from the University but are yet to be enrolled by the Commission.

Former staff of the University, who have either voluntarily retired or withdrawn their services but are yet to be verified and enrolled by the National Pension Commission, are requested to contact the Principal Assistant Registrar (Pension) with a view to participating in the Retirement Benefit Enrollment Exercise, to be held this year. Staff, who also intend to voluntarily retire or withdraw their services from the University, between January and December 2018 are advised to contact the Principal Assistant Registrar (Pension), to enable them participate. Affected staff are enjoined to utilise the opportunity of the exercise to enroll for their benefits as the enrollment exercise is held once in a year.
