The Pension Reform Act 2004 was one of the most important legislations of the last two decades. It completely transformed, the then, stagnant pension industry that catered for only a minority of employees into a vibrant and growing industry for all Nigerians. From modest beginnings in 2005, the industry has grown to be an important driver of savings and investments in Nigeria, with positive impact on jobs and economic growth.

The Pension Reform Act 2004 introduced the Contributory Pension Scheme under which both employer and employee contribute to the employee’s pension. The Pension Reform Act 2004 was subsequently repealed by the Pension Reform Act 2014 (PRA 2014), which introduced a number of improvements such as increasing the contribution from 15% to 18% of employees’ salaries. The Act covers both public and private sector employees. However, most States are yet to commence full implementation of their own pension laws that conform with PRA 2014.
