BuisnessDay Pension Conference 2026 : Pensions Reforms And Recapitalisation In Nigeria
Are you among the 80 million Nigerians currently outside the pension safety net? With the 2026 recapitalization deadline looming and global “efficiency” trends reshaping how we view money, staying uninformed is no longer an option.
In this exclusive deep dive from BusinessDay Television, we sit down with industry leaders to break down the massive shifts in Nigeria’s pension landscape. We explore why the industry is undergoing a “recapitalization” phase to build trust, how the new Personal Pension Plan (formerly Micro Pension) is designed for the informal sector, and why young people must start saving from day one. In an era where even global giants like Elon Musk are challenging government spending and efficiency (DOGE), securing your private retirement fund is the ultimate move for financial sovereignty.
