New PFA hits pension space with unique offers

By Henry Uche

Parthian Pensions, the newest Pension Fund Administrator in Nigeria, says it is ready to partner with anybody who is economically engaged within the country and Africa, to achieve a happy retirement phase of life.

Addressing newsmen in its Lagos office, the Managing Director/CEO of the company, Mr Olufemi Odukoya, said the company is focused on serving the over 70 million workers who are not yet captured in the pension net—particularly the retail space.

According to him, one of Parthian Pension’s top priorities is a customer annual engagement forum—an educative initiative aimed to give its partners (customers) a sense of belonging and peace of mind, and a strategy to reassure its customers that the company is leaving no stone unturned to ensure their interest is protected at all times.

“We understand that planning for your retirement is one of the most important journeys you will undertake. You deserve a partner with proven strength, unwavering commitment, and a vision for your future peace of mind. We are proud to be that partner, born from the distinguished lineage of the Parthian Group – a name synonymous with pioneering spirit, financial innovation, and robust execution for over a decade.”

Odukoya added that the company is poised to invest and impact the people, financial sector, and the economy at large. He pointed out “relationship gap and trust issue” as areas Parthian Pension is keen to fill in, to guarantee its business partners a brighter future.

“We are hopefully going to close those gaps, particularly in northern Nigeria. Young people are our target. We are digitally operational with our carefully built app. We are ready for the recapitalisation waves sweeping across the financial sector. We are going to play an advisory and educating role for our target market, because we are passionate to see them retire well. Anyone out there can partner with Parthian Pensions for a seamless and secure retirement journey. We provide expert fund management and personalised services.

“The future of our partners is our focus. We are carefully built on a foundation of trust, innovation, and execution. We leverage the expertise and market leadership of the Parthian Group to deliver world-class pension fund administration. We are not just a PFA, we are custodians of your retirement journey, committed to transparency, accessibility and growth,” he added.

On his part, the Managing Director of Parthian Group, Mr Oluseye Olusoga, affirmed that the company would continue to play a vital role in developing Nigeria and Africa through capital formation, aggregation and top-notch personnel.

Olusoga, who expressed readiness of the Parthian Group to tackle any anticipated or otherwise challenge head-on, added: “There is no better time to join the pension industry than now, given the recent reforms from the regulator. Our impact and investment in the people, in the financial services sector, and the economy at large is a testament to what we are capable of doing in the pension space. We create opportunities for Nigerians to live better now and happy tomorrow. Together we can make life better for all of us,” he assured.
