Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, recently organised a series of pre-retirement seminars in three states across the federation including Edo, Plateau and Oyo State.
At the seminars, the customers of the organisation received valuable knowledge on effective early retirement planning and investment strategies.
Themed ‘Making Extraordinary Happen in Your Post-Work Life’ the seminars served as a platform to empower individuals with essential tools and information necessary for a comfortable and worry-free retirement.
Its Chief Executive, Olumide Oyetan, said the session sought to prepare retirees for retirement, educate them on pension fund contribution on various topics such as application procedures, retirement documentation, and other pension-related matters. An initiative that reflects Stanbic IBTC’s ongoing commitment to providing clients with exceptional value.
“The pre-retirement seminar series is a step in the right direction towards empowering pension contributors to make informed decisions, prepare for life after work, and retire well. The engagement and interaction from highly engaged attendees testify to the value we deliver to our clients” Oyetan affirmed.
Also, the company’s Medical Consultant, Dr Sylvanus Jatto, who gave a health talk on nutrition charged the soon-to-be retirees on prioritising their health at retirement.
Executive Director, Business Development, Nike Bajomo, emphasised the importance of making prudent financial choices in retirement, adding that individuals who start saving for retirement early are more likely to accumulate a substantial amount in their retirement savings accounts (RSA) over time, providing a solid basis for their retirement. However, individuals who delay retirement planning can still achieve financial security with careful preparation and voluntary contributions.
“We established this workshop to support the goals of pension contributors who are working hard to retire safely. We are committed to helping customers retire well and encouraged them to take full advantage of the available resources and information during and after the seminar” she affirmed.
