Nigeria’s contributory pension industry has been projected to be a strong base for economic growth, if only the laws were strictly enforced by relevant authorities.
This was the solution proffered by pension experts, the Acting Managing Director of Trustfund Pensions, Mr. Uche Ihechere.
Ihechere, who disclosed this at a media parley in Abuja, said the Pension Act has made adequate provisions for effective operation of the system in Nigeria, for the benefits of all stakeholders.
While he urged strict enforcement of all pension laws he also said pension subscribers should leverage the pension Act to ensure that their rights were protected.
