NSITF to Employers: Secure Workers’ Future, Not Just Pay Wages

The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) has urged employers to prioritise workers’ welfare through the Employees Compensation Scheme (ECS) for lasting industrial harmony.

MD Oluwaseun Faleye stressed that health, safety, and compensation matter more than salaries alone, urging compliance with the law across all contracts.

Board Chairman Sola Olofin warned that ambiguities in the Finance Act 2021 threaten the Fund’s autonomy and workers’ safety net, calling for stronger advocacy.
