N9.98 trillion out of the N15.45 trillion, it stressed, was invested in federal government securities, while N160.31 billion was invested in state governments’ securities, even as corporate debt securities gulped N1.67 trillion and money market instruments got N1.69 trillion.

Investment income, according to LEADERSHIP Sunday’s investigations, was instrumental to the continuous growth in pension funds despite the fact that some governments at majorly state level are not paying the monthly pension contributions of their workers as and when due.

Similarly, the huge increase, according to findings, was attributed to new pension contributions received, interest from fixed income securities and net realised on equities and mutual fund investments.

The director general of National Pension Commission (PenCom), Mrs Aisha Dahir-Umar, had said the growth in the pension fund assets under the new pension scheme is an indication of prudent and sincere management of the pension fund by the pension operators and the regulator.

“The maintenance of a consistent growth trajectory continues to justify the Commission’s overriding investment philosophy of ensuring the safety of pension fund assets,” she said.

At a seminar in Lagos in December 2022, the executive secretary/CEO, Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp), Oguche Aguda, while applauding the contributions of pension fund operators toward growing the assets, assured pension contributors that their funds are in safe hands.

He noted that there had been no reported mismanagement of pension funds under the new scheme known as Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), a development he said was due to prudent management of the assets by operators and strict enforcement of pension regulations by PenCom.
