He
said, “The legislature in Nigeria, being alive to its responsibilities,
regards the pension industry as a major contributor to the economic and
social well being of Nigerians. The well being of those who gave their
best to the nation at the prime of their lives must be taken care of at
the twilight of their lives. A well planned retirement with well managed
pension scheme should guarantee the good life for our senior citizens. A
well trained and professional pension practitioners have a huge role to
play in achieving the above goals.

“The
Pension industry in Nigeria today is worth over 6.2 Trillion Naira
(Nov. 2016). It comprises funds belonging to workers, employers of
Labour and investors. It is too important a subject, and the size of
funds involved, too big not to have some form of Regulation by its
practitioners. There is therefore an urgent need for a regulatory
framework to guide practitioners in the industry.”

Going
further, he noted that though the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (N.I.A.)
is a highly respected security and diplomatic agency that caters for
aspects of Nigeria’s security needs especially foreign intelligence, the
appropriate method of guaranteeing their pension is yet to be
determined, which is why the House has invited relevant stakeholders to
assist in drawing up one.
