SSNIT celebrates Ghana’s oldest female pensioner at 100
The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has celebrated its oldest female pensioner across the country, Madam Ima Zenabu Dagomba, on her 100th birthday and seized the opportunity to encourage workers in the informal sector to enrol on the national pension scheme.
He stressed that although discussions were ongoing at the national level to improve pension coverage for the informal sector, the Trust already had products designed to meet the needs of self-employed workers.
Mr Sulley explained that the decision to hold the ceremony at Madam Dagomba’s home, instead of a hotel, was intentional, saying it brought SSNIT closer to communities and exposed more people, particularly those in the informal sector, to the benefits of the pension scheme.
