The National Pension Commission (PenCom) is set to refine its investment frameworks to direct pension capital into critical national assets, including infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and agriculture, while maintaining competitive returns for contributors.

These are some of the disclosures made by the PenCom Director-General, Ms. Omolola Oloworaran, at briefing in Abuja, where she outlined key achievements of the Commission in the last two years.

Meanwhile, in outlining the major milestones she indicated an injection of N10.7 trillion in new retirement savings into the national economy during the period which brought the total pension assets to N31.48 trillion as of July 10, 2026, a 51 percent expansion from N20.79 trillion in July 2024.

Oloworaran attributed the growth to aggressive recovery of unremitted contributions, flexible investment strategies, improved compliance, and tighter collaboration with anti-graft agencies such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
