N1.54 trillion representing 10 per cent
of total pension assets have been invested in corporate debt securities across sectors of the economy, including corporate bonds, telecommunications, flour mills, power and industries.

The value of investments in corporate debt is now N1.86 trillion, while the value of assets in the equity market is put at NO1.54 trillion or 8.88 percent of the total assets.

On the fear that the federal government’s move to borrow from pension funds could create troubles for the industry, Agudah said each pension fund administrator would ensure due diligence before investing pension funds in any government project. He said pension funds are safe and secure from abuse.
