Executive Summary
The inaugural National Pre-Retirement Summit, held in July 2024 in Abuja, marked the first coordinated national effort to address retirement planning in Nigeria in a comprehensive and practical way. The Summit positioned itself as a foundational platform, bringing together government institutions, labour unions, pension administrators, financial experts, and prospective retirees to confront the realities of retirement head-on.
What made the 2024 edition particularly significant was its strong policy orientation and emphasis on basic retirement education. It created a baseline for discussions on financial preparedness, entrepreneurship, health management, and post-service productivity. The introduction of the Summit's three-pillar structure—policy panels, technical capacity-building sessions, and the Innovative Hub Simulation—set the framework that now defines subsequent editions.
