The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) recently hosted a forum in Tamale to engage stakeholders and advance the goals of the pension scheme.
The forum aimed to reassure pensioners, contributors, and the general public of SSNIT’s commitment to managing its assets responsibly, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the scheme.
During the event, Mr. Joseph Poku, SSNIT’s Chief Actuary, delivered a presentation in which he highlighted that the scheme provides minimum pensions by subsidizing payments for pensioners with low salaries during their active service or for contributors who made minimal salary-based contributions.
Mr. Poku emphasized that SSNIT is not exclusively for employees in the formal sector and encouraged workers from both the formal and informal sectors to join the scheme.
He reassured attendees that SSNIT would continue to fulfill its core mandate with determination and efficiency.
Alhaji Issah Yahaya, the Northern Regional Chairman of the Pensioners Association of Ghana, urged citizens to support efforts to strengthen the SSNIT pension scheme.
He also advised younger generations to begin contributing to SSNIT as an investment in their future, ensuring they can retire with dignity.
