The National Pension Commission, PenCom, has commenced moves to bring millions of transport workers into Nigeria’s pension system through the Personal Pension Plan, PPP, in what could become one of the largest pension inclusion initiatives targeting the informal sector.
The initiative emerged during a meeting between PenCom Director-General, Ms. Omolola Oloworaran, and the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
The proposed partnership is expected to provide pension coverage for an estimated nine million transport workers operating across motor parks, interstate routes, logistics corridors and urban transport networks nationwide.
