The National Judicial Council (NJC), has unveiled the online and real-time verification platform for retired Federal Judicial and non-judicial officers on its payroll, as well as the online enrollment for retiring Federal judiciary staff.
At the official take-off of the project, the Executive Secretary, National Judicial Council, Ahmed Saleh who was represented by Director, Information, NJC, Soji Oye said the judiciary is not lacking behind in terms of automated processes and operations.
On the part of the Director, Pensions of the NJC, Georginia Obingene, the initiative was aimed at improving the operational efficiency of the pensions department of the council.
Due to the compelling realities of the challenges of COVID-19 in the year 2020, the Pension Department of the National Judicial Council was unable to conduct the annual Verification Exercise for Retired Federal Judicial and some non-Judicial Officers already in its Pension Payroll.
This necessitated the establishment of the online platform.
