The Director, Centre for Pension Right Advocacy, Takor Ivor, has called for the inclusion of micro-pension in the ecosystem.
He charged the National Pension Commission and operators to embark on sensitisation to drive the process.
In a paper delivered recently at the third yearly Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria and National Assembly retreat held in Lagos, the Former Director-General, PenCom, Muhammed Ahmad, also stressed that pension and insurance segments of the economy were yet to gain more attention.Ahmad then implored pension operators to assist informal sector workers in planning their future by bringing them into the micro-pension plan.
He submitted that PenCom and PenOp have also developed a strong relationship with the National Assembly whom they recognise as key partners in the industry. We can all agree that the Contributory Pension Scheme practised in Nigeria, which has adopted international best practices, is technologically driven and has grown steadily over the period.
