The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) says it has worked to dispense benefits to 20,531 Nigerians in the last one year.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Nwachukwu Godson, at the end of the second edition of its monthly online Management Performance Review (MPR), recently held in Abuja.
Godson said that in addition to its proactive approach to social security, NSITF has prioritised occupational safety and health, conducting over 5,592 exercises to prevent workplace accidents.
He said the Fund has embraced its role as a leading social security institution, leveraging over six decades of experience to positively impact the lives of thousands.
According to the spokesperson, the impact of NSITF’s efforts reverberates across diverse sectors, with beneficiaries ranging from construction companies to banking institutions. He added that through disability benefits to medical expense refunds, NSITF has ensured that those in need receive vital assistance, fostering a culture of inclusivity and support. He said NSITF’s outreach extends beyond traditional boundaries, with a strategic focus on the informal sector, which encompasses over 80% of Nigerians.
