responded to probing inquiries.

She noted that the retirees’ forum also provided a window for pensioners to change the previous records in order to accommodate new beneficiaries.

”And some also may want to change their banks, also if they have any issue about names reconciliation, this is the venue again. Also we are now doing biometrics, it is compulsory for not just retires but to also contributors– those in service are expected to do their biometrics,” she said.
