In spreading pension awareness among Nigerians of all ages, PenCom in collaboration with Pension Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp ), staged the maiden edition of its annual Pension week across the country.

The pension week kicked off Monday, Oct 26th with a youth engagement and interactive session in which a good number of youths were assembled both physically and virtually to interact with pension experts on the need to start pension savings early enough.

Parents were also encouraged to open pension savings account for their children. The Pension week which will run Monday, October 26th through Friday, October 30, is aimed at deepening pension literacy, accelerating financial inclusion, and expanding overall participation in the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). The conference which has the theme “Your Hustle, Your Future: Why Retirement Planning Starts Now,” warned the youths not to allow their soft life of today lead to hard life tomorrow. The youth forum seeks to deconstruct the misconception that retirement savings are exclusively for older demographics.
