The Plight Of The Nigerian Retirees
Most Nigerians retire without any plans for the future in the recent past. Not until recently when pencom came into being. Even with this recent development a lot needs to be done to ease the stress pensioners go through to access their entitlements. The verification excercises carried out are so tedious that it sometimes it leads to death at verification centres. And how much are the pensioners trying to access. Patry some sums which there have been clamours for increment. Nobody seems to care enough about the demands.
I just want to use this medium to strongly recommend that we have come to a stage where people must retire with earning power. There are networking businesses that you earn from even when you retire. These businesses cost little or nothing to set up. The Pension Fund Administrator(s) (PFAs) should begin to see the need to exploit these investment havens to secure the future of Nigerian workers/eventual retirees.
