National Pension Commission Launches Retirement Savings Account (RSA) Transfer System

The National Pension Commission (the Commission) wishes to inform all stakeholders and the general public, especially Retirement Savings Account (RSA) holders under the Contributory Pension Scheme, that the commission has concluded arrangements for the take-off of RSA Transfers. Accordingly, RSA holders may transfer their accounts from one Pension Fund Administrate (PFA) to another once in a year, in line with Section 13 of the Pension Reform Act 2014.

The launch date for the RSA Transfer System is scheduled for Monday 16 November, 2020. This will signify the official opening of the RSA Transfer Window.

Prior to this launch, the Commission had successfully developed the RSA Transfer Application, a robust electronic platform that would enable seamless RSA transfers. In addition, the Commission had conducted extensive workshops for licensed Pension Operators and State Pension Bureaus in readiness for this epoch-making event.

The activation of the RSA transfer process will engender competition and improve service delivery in the pension industry, while asserting the right of RSA holders to determine which PFA manages their pension contributions and retirement benefits.

Nursing the World to Health - ICN announces theme for International Nurses Day 2020

Each year, ICN leads the celebrations on International Nurses Day, which is traditionally held on 12 May, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. Next year’s celebrations will be extra special because the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated 2020 as The Year of the Nurse and Midwife, and because it will be the 200th anniversary of Nightingale’s birth.

Nigerian nurses fleeing to UK hit 4yr high

Nigerian nurses fleeing to UK hit 4yr high  Only 20 Nigeria-trained nurses joined the UK nursing workforce between the six-months of October 2015 and March 2016. Four years later in the same period of 2020, the number jumped to 444, the highest number of Nigeria-trained nurses joining in a six-month period. Presently, there are 3,767 Nigeria-trained nurses on the register of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) of the United Kingdom. While they are still not as much as medical doctors who have left Nigeria, the departure pace has quickened in recent years and if not for COVID-19, the exodus by end of 2020 would have been more significant. BusinessDay analysis of the NMC UK’s register for the last five years and interviews with Nigerian nurses (already in the UK and planning to leave) show a steady but overlooked trend over the years. Medical doctors are not the only ones leaving Nigeria, and while their departure has received more coverage, other health workers are leaving too. As a...
