The well-being of pensioners following retirement will be the focus of discussion at this year’s Inspenonline Retirement Summit.

According to a statement signed by the organiser of the summit, Chuks Okonta, the summit was informed by findings that showed that about 90 per cent of retirees enter post-retirement life without knowing what awaits them due to inappropriate preparation.

He said the summit is expected to open the space for post-retirement programmes and trainings, which are presently non-existent in the country, adding that it will also spotlight how citizens can leverage opportunities in the insurance, pension, and other sectors to plan for a comfortable life in retirement.

“The summit is expected to assist in identifying challenges that have debarred people from enjoying a good life in retirement and underpin the roles to be played by the government, insurance and pension regulators, insurance and pension practitioners, citizens, and other stakeholders,” he said.

The summit to be held in Lagos in May under the theme, ‘Attaining Good Retirement Amid Economic Headwinds,’ will have in attendance the former Commissioner for Insurance/Director, FBS Reinsurance Limited, Fola Daniel; Commissioner for Insurance Olusegun Omosehin; Director-General, National Pension Commission, Ms Omolola Olowolaran; the President of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria, Mrs Yetunde Ilori; Chairman, Nigerian Insurers Association, Mr Kunle Ahmed; Chief Executive Officer, Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria, Agudah Oguche; and President Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers, Babatunde Oguntade, among others.
