One of Nigeria’s licensed Pension Fund Administrators(PFAs), Veritas Glanvills Pensions (VG Pensions) Limited has assured retirees of quality service delivery as well as supporting them with free healthcare services.

The PFA officials, who disclosed this at its recent Annual Retiree Forum held in Osogbo, Osun State capital last week, promised that, its PFA gives good returns on investment of pension funds under its management, while also supporting its retirees and contributors through its social welfare scheme, such as the free healthcare service it gave to customers present at the retreat.

The event brought together retirees from across Osun State, providing a platform for engagement, interactions, and shared experiences, even as the forum served as an avenue to update retirees on developments within the pension industry, address their concerns, and reaffirm the company’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and fulfilling retirement journey for its clients.

Speaking at the forum, the company’s head of Business Development (South), Oluwakemi Aroyehun, emphasised the company’s commitment to the well-being of its retirees, noting that: “Our retirees have given their best years in service.

This forum is one of the many ways we demonstrate that commitment.”

Also addressing participants, the head of Benefits Administration, Mr. Jimkelly Ekomaye, provided insights on the modes of accessing Retirement Savings Accounts (RSA), key features of the scheme, and documentation required for processing retirement benefits. He explained the variables that determine lump sums and monthly pensions, including date of birth, date of retirement, gender, RSA balance, and final salary while also clarifying the conditions under which retirees’ monthly pensions may qualify for enhancement.

The retirees overwhelmingly praised the forum, highlighting its significant impact in creating trust and enhancing satisfaction among participants.
