On a different note, Oguche Agudah, Chief Executive, Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp) also said “from the formal sector penetration is very strong and where penetration needs to happen more is the informal sector that’s people that either don’t have formal job and how we hope to penetrate that is through micro-pension, a self-sponsored pension plan where individual can decide to do a pension for himself and its voluntary but have a number of benefits and we are hoping that many more Nigerians will get involve in micro-pension.”
