ABSTRACT:
The conventional systems in pension administration such as possession of identity card, paper documents to verify pensioners by the respective pension fund administrators is prone to a lot of inadequacies, such as fraud and identity theft. In order to overcome this problem, this research proposes an alternative method in the area of Biometrics technology using advanced computer techniques such as face and fingerprint as a widely adopted front-line security. This is done by developing a biometric system for pensioners which will ensure efficiency and effectiveness in identity verification and control access to pension funds. The method adopted involved study of the existing system and evolutionary prototyping of the new system; C sharp (C#) and MySQL were the technologies used in implementing the system. It is believed that this research will go a long way at eliminating ghost pensioners and restore credibility in Nigeria’s pension administration.
