The Nigerian Government has launched a micro pension plan for self-employed Nigerians.
The plan was launched at the State House Conference Centre, by the President, Muhamadu Buhari.
Buhari launched the programme by supervising the registration of a Keke NAPEP operator, Sagir Shawai, a resident of Karu village in the Federal capital.
The President said the programme was conceived for Nigerians in the informal sector of the country.
“This initiative will capture those that are not fully captured in the existing pension scheme.
“In the past three years, we have provided loans to farmers and others in the informal sector. The micro pension plan is the next step,” he said.
