Pension: New Compliance EXCO to Address Industry Challenges

The newly elected compliance executives of the pension industry have assumed their roles at a critical time, as the sector faces increasing scrutiny and demand for improved operational standards.

Oguche Agudah, CEO of the Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp), congratulated the new executives while emphasising the vital responsibilities they will now undertake. Under the leadership of the new Director General (DG), these roles are expected to play a pivotal part in addressing the industry’s pressing challenges, including fraud, inefficient processes, and ensuring better outcomes for pensioners.

The newly elected executives—Edidiong Akan, Temitope Anjorin, and Tunde Folayan—officially took their oaths of office, pledging to execute their duties with diligence, professionalism, and a focus on the best interests of the industry.

During the ceremony, they reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards and fostering harmonious relationships among pension operators.

Their new positions are not only critical for day-to-day regulatory compliance but also vital in steering the industry toward a future where operators adhere to best practices, reduce inefficiencies, and combat fraud. The executives also acknowledged the importance of ethical governance, emphasising that integrity remains the cornerstone of their mandate.

In their remarks, the new compliance executives expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in them by their peers and reiterated their dedication to advancing the goals of the association. They also stressed the importance of collective action in addressing the industry’s challenges.

Plans to formalise the Compliance Forum were announced, with a vision of establishing it as a robust and influential voice within the pension industry. This forum is expected to serve as a platform for industry-wide collaboration, fostering dialogue among stakeholders to address regulatory gaps and promote best practices.

The compliance executives made it clear that their focus extends beyond maintaining existing standards—they aim to innovate and lead reforms that will enhance the industry’s overall performance. As they take office, expectations are high that their leadership will contribute to a more transparent, efficient, and fraud-resistant pension industry that serves the best interests of both operators and pensioners.

For now, the industry remains optimistic that this new team will rise to the occasion, driving improvements and ensuring a fairer and more efficient pension system for all.
