Nigerian Govt restates commitment to retirees’ welfare
The Federal Government has said that it is committed to improving the well-being of its retirees and creating a conducive atmosphere for them to live decent lives after retirement.
The Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reform (BPSR), Mr. Dasuki Arabi, said this on Friday in Gombe during the 2024 Pre-Retirement Training Programme for retired/retiring officers of selected Federal Parastatals in the North East Zone.
Arabi stated that the FG remains dedicated to improving the well-being of retirees through training and other reforms.
According to him, the bureau is arranging a national conference, which, hopefully, will be chaired by President Bola Tinubu, to address pension issues and reform the system to enhance the lives of retirees.
The DG also noted that the pre-retirement training programme for retiring officers of federal parastatals is one of the bureau’s cardinal programmes.
He further stated that the essence of the training is to prepare retiring officers for the future and ensure that the quality of their lives does not deteriorate.
Arabi added that equipping them with the right knowledge and experience for achieving a sustainable life in retirement aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at improving the lives of retirees.
“The most important exercise that an employee can embark on is to prepare for retirement.
“Retirement, which marks another phase in a person’s life, is an exercise worth planning for.
“Many people have had very bad experiences in their retirement life, possibly due to their failure to adequately plan for it.
“Government, in its wisdom, thought it wise to impart some basic knowledge on how to manage life in retirement and properly utilize their retirement benefits.
“Due to the immense benefits derived from the first edition, the training has been institutionalized and is conducted annually by the bureau for retirees from federal parastatals,” he said.
