Director-General of the National Pension Commission (PenCom), Mrs. Omolola Oloworaran, on Friday paid a courtesy visit to Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, pledging a new era of transparency and collaboration.
Mrs. Oloworaran said her visit was meant “to correct the missteps of the past and build a mutually beneficial relationship,” stressing that contributors’ funds remain safe under strict safeguards managed by Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs).
But Ajaero cautioned PenCom against sidelining labour.
“Taking on the Nigeria Labour Congress unjustly could be a costly venture,” he warned, recalling past violations of the PenCom Act and government’s disregard of NLC complaints.
He, however, welcomed the DG’s rapprochement, noting:
“There are serious challenges ahead, but with sincerity and genuine partnership, we can address them for the good of Nigerian workers.”
