EFFECT OF THE NEW PENSION SCHEME ON SUSTAINABLE WELFARE AND POST-SERVICE LIFE IMPROVEMENT OF RETIREES IN LAGOS
Get PDFE fficient and effective public and private sector organizations arc expected to see to the maximum well-being of
their employees. That is, in and post service and especially for employees that have contributed meaningfully
to the achievement of the organizational goals. Part of such management responsibility is payment of post
service compensation or pension which provides the employees the security and right that gives guaranteed income
on retirement or to dependants on death. The study attempts" comparative analysis of the old and new pension
scheme in Nigeria and the extent to which the new scheme has significantly influenced the welfare and life
improvement of the retirees in Lagos the commercial hub of Nigeria. The study adopts the survey research design.
Two hypotheses are tested using chi-square (X2) test at 0.05level of significance. Major findings show that a lot of
defects exist in the old scheme and that the administration and collection of pensions by prisoners have been very
poor. There is a significant relationship between the operation of the new pension scheme and the welfare of
pensionners(X2 Cal= 33.27, X2 Tab= 12.59), and their life improvement after service (X2 Cal 27.97. X2 Tab 12.59). In
conclusion, it is recommended that much attention be given to public education and enlightenment of all stakeholders
for them to be conversant with the administration of the new scheme and proper measures put in place to
guarantee safety of the funds. These should include sustained capacity of building of officials and investment strategies.
The new scheme should be shielded from the effect of aspects of the highly corrupt and unethical public governance
and economic management systems in Nigeria and encumbered in strong strategic plan, long-term economic
development, sustainable welfare of retirees and inclusive strategy

The Positioning Women and Viable Development in Nigeria
Get PDFWomen constitute the majority of humanity, being about 56% of the total of the 6 billion on earth. The problem of unequal access to social benefits by women received global attention when the United Nations declared the period 1975-1985 as the decade for women. There was also a special conference on women held in Beijing, China in 1995 to access improvement on the life of women. A consciousness has been developing nationally that unless something is done to politically empower women, as an interest group, and to combat poverty amongst them by creating incomes and wealth, the entire development of the country stands mortgaged. Women have gone through notable development phases in human history. Poverty has a woman face since 70% of people in poverty are women
