Public sector pension contributions surged 234.85 per cent to N550.96bn in the fourth quarter of 2025, highlighting stronger compliance with Nigeria’s Contributory Pension Scheme and the settlement of outstanding pension arrears.
This was disclosed in the Q4 2025 Quarterly Industry Report released by the National Pension Commission, which showed total pension contributions rose to N903.7bn during the period. The private sector accounted for N352.74bn, representing a modest growth of 4.16 per cent.
According to PenCom, the sharp increase in public sector remittances was driven largely by pension adjustments and the clearance of outstanding obligations by government institutions.
The report also showed continued growth in pension assets, with the industry’s Net Asset Value rising by N1.36tn to N27.45tn in December 2025 from N26.09tn recorded in September.
The increase was supported mainly by gains in equity valuations and sustained contributions.
