Young persons, below the age of 40 years in Nigeria’s labour force, have accounted for 75.31 percent of all new Retirement Savings Account (RSA) registrations in the first quarter of 2026, according to first quarter report of the National Pension Commission (PenCom).

The total of new registrations under the Contributory Pension Scheme surged to 143,248 during the three-month period, driven by improved digital onboarding and aggressive public sensitization campaigns.

This reveals a demographic shift anchored on longer investment horizons and expanded capacity for long-term asset accumulation.
