Dahiru highlighted the importance of the pension clearance certificate, explaining that it ensures employers fulfill their obligations to employees.

He acknowledged past challenges in obtaining the certificates and emphasised that the commission’s new strategy aims to address these issues.

The automation, set to take effect starting next year, allows employers to apply for the certificates from the convenience of their homes or offices.

“The pension clearance certificate is one of the essential services provided by the National Pension Commission and the reason for it is to ensure that employers fulfill their obligations to their employees. We are aware that in the past, there have been issues around getting the certificates.

“Based on the Commission’s renewed strategy to improve its services, the whole process of issuing pension clearance certificates has been automated.
