Ondo appoints consultant on pension commission establishment
Ondo State Government has appointed the Group Managing Director of Pensionscope Group and the Chief Executive Officer Interterms Pension Consultancy, Mr. Tai Peter Adediji, as a consultant to establish its pension commission.
If established, the commission would coordinate and manage workers’ pension affairs in the state.
With the appointment, Adediji, will bring to bear his experience on pension management, draw functions of the commission and appoint the organisation’s head and officers.
He will also be responsible for the appointment of Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) and Pension Fund Custodians (PFCs).
Adediji, who was the pioneer Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the CRIB Pension Fund Administrator, has contributed immensely to pension industry’s development through his publications, paper presentations at high profiled fora, production of pensionscope radio programme (a popular Lagos-based weekly radio programme on pension, insurance and related issues) as well as pensionscope magazine (a monthly highly professional publication for both pension and insurance industries).
Commenting on his appointment, he commended Governor Olusegun Mimiko for the gesture, pledging to give the state one of the best pension commissions that can guarantee improved wellbeing for contributors, retirees and other stakeholders.
He said the enactment of the state’s pension law will help enhance the moral of the workers, lauding the efforts of the state government in joining other progressive states in laying a secured and prosperous future for its workers.
He called on workers in the state to reciprocate the gesture of the government by redoubling their contributions to the state’s development.
