Nigeria: 500 Prospective Retirees to Benefit From Skill Acquisition Training

25 March 2024

No fewer than 500 prospective retirees will benefit from skill acquisition training and strategic knowledge on retirement planning at the forthcoming 2024 National Pre-retirement Summit in Abuja.

Dr Eugenia Ndukwe, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), XEM Consultants Limited, a subsidiary of XEM Group, sponsors of the summit, said seasoned investment advisors would be on the ground to guide participants in any retirement planning and investment they might choose.

Ndukwe told newsmen that apart from investment advisors, reputable entrepreneurs and other experts would be at the summit to guide prospective retirees on their retirement plans as the country's economy was unpredictable.

She said that the government, private, public and corporate sectors, financial institutions, labour unions, pension fund administrators and civil society organisations would also participate.

"The National Pre-retirement Summit is a pioneering and strategic initiative dedicated to addressing the challenges and the prospects prevalent at retirement in Nigeria," she said.

Ndukwe said that the primary purpose of the summit was to meticulously examine the retirement policies in the country; the challenges and anxieties that prospective retirees face, and then propose policy directions.
