About the Week
What is National Pension Week?
National Pension Week helps people understand how pensions connect to different stages of life and work. It brings together contributors, prospective contributors, employers, retirees, young Nigerians, entrepreneurs, SMEs, self-employed professionals, pension operators, educational institutions, government organisations, professional bodies, media and the public.
From pension awareness and leadership conversations to SME masterclasses and retiree-focused health and retirement engagements, NPW provides a platform for conversations and experiences that reflect the different stages of the pension journey.
Why it matters
Better understanding supports better long-term decisions.
National Pension Week connects pension education with practical decisions people make throughout working life and retirement.
- Make the Nigerian pension system and Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) easier to understand.
- Promote retirement planning as part of lifelong financial planning.
- Help young people begin financial planning earlier.
- Expand awareness of pension options for self-employed and informal-sector Nigerians.
- Strengthen direct engagement between the public, regulator and pension industry.
- Support retirees and beneficiaries with relevant information and engagement.
- Recognise leadership and achievement.
- Communicate the outcomes and commitments of the Week openly.
