The future seems a bright one for pensioners in Nigeria, particularly those who worked in the federal service, after a commitment by President Muhammadu Buhari who plans to speed up a pension reform.
It was obvious in his speech at the launching of the Micro Pension Plan (MPP) at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja, on Thursday, March 28, 2019. The MPP was initiated to address exclusion of millions of traders, farmers and other entrepreneurs from the different pension programs in existence.
Buhari says it is part of his administration’s plan to ensure the inclusion of all Nigerians in the basic services. Having identified what needs to be done, the president has also laid out the design for execution.
