ABUJA—The National Pension Commission (PenCom), has commenced discussions with the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), on a partnership aimed at bringing an estimated nine million transport workers into the Personal Pension Plan (PPP), under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).
The proposed collaboration was unveiled during a courtesy visit by the National President of NURTW, Musiliu Akinsanya, to the Director-General of PenCom, Omolola Oloworaran, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja, yesterday.
The meeting, attended by senior officials of both organisations, focused on expanding pension coverage among transport workers through the PPP and exploring financing models to support the acquisition of modern mass-transit vehicles across the country.
