Nigeria and the International Social Security Association (ISSA) are partnering to boost the delivery of Social Security and employees’ protection in the workplace.
The Nigerian government, through the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), says its collaboration with ISSA has reinforced Nigeria’s commitment to social security and employees’ compensation.
The remark followed a meeting on the sidelines of the 114th International Labour Conference (ILO) ongoing in Geneva, Switzerland, where the Secretary General of ISSA, Marcelo Abi-Ramia Caetano, met with a delegation from the NSITF.
The delegation was led by the Executive Director of Administration, Mr. Samaila Abdu, who represented the Managing Director, Mr. Oluwaseun Faleye.
ISSA Secretary General praised NSITF for hosting a very successful conference in Abuja recently, and commended the Faleye-led management team for its “commitment to growth and development of social security and protection in the West African sub-region. “
He also lauded NSITF’s commitment to the progress of ISSA in Africa and globally.
Recall that on the 22nd and 23rd of April this year, NSITF hosted all social security agencies in West Africa at an ISSA conference held in Abuja with the theme “Improving Inclusiveness and Accessibility of Social Security Services Through Effective Communication in West Africa.”
