In the landscape of Nigeria’s financial sector, few milestones match the sheer scale and velocity of the recent expansion within the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).
For instance, in a striking 24-month period, total pension assets under management surged by a massive 51 percent, climbing from N20.79 trillion in July 2024 to a staggering N31.48 trillion.
