The Executive Director of SSNIT, Mr. Kofi Osafo- Maafo has extolled the invaluable role of SSNIT in providing a better pensions option for workers in the country.
‘‘SSNIT has a better story to tell than anyone in the pension space,’ he stated.
He made these comments in a media engagement held in Accra July 08, 2024.
This media engagement was to address some of the concerns that have dominated media space, particularly concerns over SSNIT’s attempt to offload 60% stake
‘‘Most importantly if there is anything that I want all who have gathered here to leave with, then the message is straightforward. I am very categorical. I am not shy about telling the story, which is that SSNIT is offering you the best pension scheme,’ he added.
He noted that SSNIT offers pensioners for life after retirement, which payments far exceed what other pension schemes offer.
Meanwhile Mr Osafo-Maafo has defended SSNIT’s proposed sale of 60% stake in its hotels, stating that due diligence was done and changing management was not considered feasible due to the continuous losses the hotels had been accruing.
