NSITF's Faleye Advocates for Enhanced Worker Welfare Collaboration

Oluwaseun Faleye, the Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), urged for stronger collaboration among government agencies to enhance workers' welfare, productivity, and social security. He made this call on Thursday in Abuja during a goodwill message at the Technical Retreat on Presidential Priority, Ministerial Deliverables, and Performance Management System (PMS).

Faleye, represented by his Technical Assistant, Dayo Aloa, praised the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment for organizing the retreat, which he described as vital for dialogue and coordination among agencies. He explained that the NSITF administers the Employees’ Compensation Scheme (ECS) under the Employees’ Compensation Act 2010, which provides support for employees and their dependants in cases of work-related injuries, occupational diseases, disabilities, and death.

Faleye stressed that workers' welfare is crucial for national productivity and economic development, highlighting the Fund's commitment to making the Scheme accessible and effective.
