How to open a Pension Account

The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) is to recover a total of about N25 billion owed them by nine life insurance companies. These nine out of twelve life insurance companies that received the pension funds are yet to comply in transferring the funds belonging to PTAD.

The statutory requirement for every eligible Nigerian employee to maintain a Retirement Savings Account (RSA) in his or her name with a Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) is now common knowledge.
The benefits are immense as it helps promote a savings culture and prepares employees for retirement.
The opening process for a Retirement Savings Account is similar to that for a bank account. Every contributor can open a RSA with a PFA of his or her choice.
Here are the Steps in opening a RSA

Decide on which PFA to use:
Research through the internet on the list of Pension Fund Administrators in the country and decide to which to use.
Pencom.gov.ng has a list of all active and closed PFAs in the country.

Visit the website of the company you have decided on and check for the business offices and agent locations closest to you.
