NSITF Boss Advocates for Institutional Trust in Nigeria

During the 2026 Law Week organized by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Gwagwalada, Abuja, Barr. Oluwaseun Faley, the Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), highlighted the critical role of institutional trust in fostering public confidence.

He asserted that the future effectiveness of governance in Nigeria relies not solely on laws enacted but on the strength of institutions to deliver legal obligations. Faley stressed the necessity of protecting vulnerable populations and maintaining a fair leave system, which he believes is essential for national development.

He pointed out that without strong institutions, public trust erodes, making it imperative for legal professionals to uphold justice and ensure that laws are not merely theoretical but practically beneficial for citizens. Faley concluded that the integrity of institutions is vital for reforming services and protecting human dignity, emphasizing that strong institutions are built through purposeful administration and trust.
