Nigerians have withdrawn a staggering N14.2 billion from their pension funds in recent times, citing job losses and economic hardship as the primary reasons. This development has raised concerns among financial experts and regulators, who fear that the withdrawals may lead to a significant reduction in the country’s pension assets.

According to data from the National Pension Commission (PenCom), the withdrawals were made by 241,767 contributors who were unable to continue their pension contributions due to job losses or other economic challenges. The amount withdrawn represents a significant portion of the total pension assets, which stood at N13.4 trillion as of March 2024.

The development has sparked concerns about the sustainability of the country’s pension system, which is still in its early stages of development. Financial experts warn that the withdrawals could lead to a reduction in the pool of funds available for investment, potentially impacting the overall performance of the pension industry.

“The withdrawals are a worrying trend, as they could lead to a reduction in the pool of funds available for investment,” said Olumide Adesina, a financial analyst at Lagos-based investment firm, Assetlink Securities. “This could have a ripple effect on the entire pension industry, potentially impacting the ability of the scheme to meet its obligations to retirees.”

Regulators have also expressed concerns about the development, with PenCom calling for a review of the pension laws to prevent further withdrawals. “We need to review the pension laws to prevent further withdrawals and ensure that the scheme remains sustainable,” said PenCom’s Director-General, Aisha Dahir-Umar.

The development highlights the need for a comprehensive review of the country’s pension system, including the laws and regulations governing the scheme. It also underscores the need for alternative sources of funding for retirees, given the uncertainty surrounding the pension scheme.
