NAICOM

The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and the National Pension Commission (PenCom) in an epoch-making ceremony held in Abuja on September 1, 2020, signed off the Revised Regulation on Retiree Life Annuity, the Guidelines on Group Life Insurance Policy for Employees and CPS Retiree Pack.

The landmark event was the outcome of the collaborative efforts of PenCom and NAICOM.

It says Africa needs to increase its power generation capacity by 7, 000 megawatts each year to meet rising demand for electricity in a continent where most people live without electricity lamenting that such gap hinders economic growth and deters much-needed foreign investment. It says that expanding the supply of energy has become an imperative that cannot be delayed in Africa.
