According to him, despite the challenges the pandemic has posed to the Trust it was prudent to step up to the plate and contribute to the National effort.
“SSNIT’s work involves the collection of contributions and payment of benefits to workers as and when they qualify. What that simply means is that, if workers die, there will be no SSNIT Scheme. We, therefore, commend the government for all the hard work, they are putting in to help fight this pandemic. We are here to present what others might call our widow’s mite, but we call it, the Pensioners’ donation”.
