He said: “The commission is also conducting pension literacy programmes by hosting students of various tertiary institutions on educational visit to the commission.
“The commission is also collaborating with other financial regulators on financial literacy for development of financial education curriculum for basic and senior secondary schools in Nigeria.
“The commission has also trained 1,300 National Youth Service Corps members in 12 states to educate their peers and primary communities through the national financial inclusion peer group educator programme.”
PenCom said it was also initiating mentoring programmes in secondary in commemoration of the annual world savings day.
The commission explained that it was also utilising the social media platforms like facebook, twitter and other media programmes on television, radio and the print media to educate youths on financial inclusion and pension.
On current state of Contributory Pension Scheme, the commission said 8.46 million contributors had been registered as at March, while the total pension assets grew to N9.03 trillion same month.
