NASSIT Takes Retirement Readiness Campaign to North West Region
The National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) has extended its Project 54+ retirement readiness campaign to the North West Region after completing engagements with workers and members approaching retirement across six locations in the North East.
The North East exercise, conducted from November 1 to 9, covered Kono, Makeni, Magburaka, Kabala, Mongor and Kamakwie. It brought together NASSIT members aged 54 and above, employees preparing for voluntary retirement, and human resource personnel from public and private sector institutions.
Through Project 54+, NASSIT is helping members understand the procedures for accessing their retirement benefits, with particular attention to ensuring that their documentation is complete before they leave active employment.
The initiative also provides guidance on retirement procedures and helps members address documentation gaps and other issues that could delay the processing and payment of their benefits.
Human resource personnel are also being engaged to strengthen their role in preparing employees for retirement and improving communication between workers and NASSIT.
Following the North East exercise, the Project 54+ team commenced engagements in the North West on November 10, with visits scheduled for Lungi, Port Loko and Kambia through November 12.
