PenCom Advances Pension Infrastructure Fund, Targets Decision in 1-2 Months

3 articles · Updated · Voice of Nigeria · Jul 8

Nigeria’s pension regulator said its pension-backed infrastructure investment framework is in an advanced stage, with pension fund administrators set to review it with boards and stakeholders before a decision within one to two months.
PenCom paired that push with tougher enforcement against employers that fail to remit workers’ pension contributions, saying compliance remains a top priority to improve retirement outcomes.
Abuja talks at the Pension Industry Leadership Council also focused on expanding long-term investments, deepening pension awareness and strengthening the industry’s sustainability and capital-market role.
September 15-19 will mark Nigeria’s first National Pension Week, which PenCom said is meant to close pension-literacy gaps and bring contributors, industry players and the media into a broader awareness drive.
