Olayinka Oladimeji Segelu, has condemned the primary poll of the party held in Lagelu Local Government Area of Oyo State to choose its candidate for the forthcoming council election billed to take place on May 15, 2021.

Hon. Segelu said the result being bandied around by supporters of the man parading himself as the winner of the Lagelu primary poll was cooked up, and should therefore not be allowed to stand, while demanding for a reschedule of the exercise.

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 The Pension Reform Act 2004 was subsequently repealed by the Pension Reform Act 2014 (PRA 2014), which introduced a number of improvements such as increasing the contribution from 15% to 18% of employees’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.
