Nigeria’s National Pension Commission (PenCom) is broadening access to its Contributory Pension Scheme through its “Pension 2.0” reforms. The changes aim to include Nigerians living in the diaspora, as well as self-employed individuals and workers in the informal sector. PenCom Director-General Omolola Oloworaran announced the expansion during the commission’s 2026 Customer Service Week seminar, themed “Extra Mile.” This initiative seeks to improve financial security for a wider range of Nigerian citizens. The reforms represent a significant step towards a more inclusive pension system in Nigeria. Further details about the program were reported by *Punch* newspaper. The move is anticipated to significantly increase pension participation rates nationwide.
