NSITF's Faleye Advocates for Enhanced Worker Welfare Collaboration

Oluwaseun Faleye, the Managing Director/Chief Executive of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), called for stronger inter-agency collaboration to enhance workers' welfare, productivity, and social security. This statement was made during his goodwill message at a Technical Retreat on Presidential Priority, Ministerial Deliverables, and Performance Management System (PMS) held in Abuja.

Faleye, represented by his Technical Assistant, Dayo Aloa, praised the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment for facilitating the meeting, which he described as essential for dialogue and coordination among agencies. He reiterated that the NSITF administers the Employees’ Compensation Scheme (ECS), established under the Employees’ Compensation Act 2010, to support employees and their dependants in cases of work-related incidents.

Faleye stressed that workers' welfare is crucial for national productivity and economic development, and he called for reduced duplication and better collaboration among agencies to address challenges faced by Nigerian workers and employers effectively.
