CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Many Nigerians today have little understanding of what a pension program is. Although some firms have established an occupational pension plan, others have not calculated the value of the plan.

Those who have not yet recognized the significance of a pension system should be encouraged to do so promptly, and progressive businesses who provide suitable benefits to the poor should be admired. It is vital to provide a brief definition of pension while introducing the subject matter of this project. A pension is a series of regular payments made by an employer or the government to a former employee who has reached the end of his or her working career.

 

For all government employees, this pension payment is payable when they reach the age of 65.

Apart from the obvious relevance of providing pensions, there are others, such as the purpose of pension schemes in creating a sense of belonging, strengthening, and laying the groundwork for industrial peace. As a result, any pension plan that provides for regular payments to retired employees with the option of extending benefits to qualifying survivors is generally regarded as acceptable by workers.

The researcher intends to focus on the management of pension schemes in Nigeria now that the policy of establishing pension schemes in any section of the country, whether private administered (trust) or insured, has been created.

The difficulties faced by retired civil officials as a result of the use of terms in the funding mechanism, as well as the impact of inflation on the pension fund
