Finding solutions to attainment of good retirement amid current economic headwinds, will be the focus in the forthcoming 2025 Inspenonline Retirement Summit.
The event theme: Attaining Good Retirement Amid Economic Headwinds’ and the second edition in the series, will hold on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 in Alausa Ikeja, Lagos.
The promoter of the summit, who is also publisher of Inspenonline, Chuks Udo Okonta said, the Summit was informed by findings which showed that about 90 per cent of retirees enter post retirement life without knowing what awaits them, due to inappropriate preparation.
According to him, the summit is expected to open the space for post retirement programmes and training which are presently non-existing in the country, adding that, it will also spotlights how the public can leverage opportunities in the insurance; pension and other sectors to plan for a comfortable life in retirement.
“The summit is expected to assist in identifying challenges that have debarred people from enjoying good life in retirement and underpin the roles to be played by the government, insurance and pension regulators, insurance and pension practitioners, citizens and other stakeholders,” he said.
Chuks, the Anchor of Pensioners Council Podcast, submitted that dignitaries lined up for the summit are: former commissioner for Insurance/Director FBS Reinsurance Limited, Fola Daniel who is the chairman of the event. Commissioner for Insurance Segun Omosehin and director general, National Pension Commission (PenCom) Omolola Olowolaran, distinguished guests of honour.
The special guests, president Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria, Yetunde Ilori; chairman, Nigerian Insurers Association, Kunle Ahmed; chief executive officer, Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria, Agudah Oguche and president, Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers Prince Babatunde Oguntade.
Chuks noted that participants to the event cut across all sectors, adding that they are drawn from labour movements; retirees groups; students; youth groups; insurance; pension; employers of labour; banking; farmers; informal sector workers amongst others.
He said the entrenchment of structured and workage retirement systems would engender economic growth and stem vices such as corruption and unethical practices. Chuks called on the public to take advantage of the event which is free to acquire necessary knowledge that would help them in planning for a comfortable life in retirement.
