The Social Security and National Insurance Trust(SSNIT) has recorded growth in its asset base from GH¢20 billion in 2024 to GH¢25 billion in 2025, a development SSNIT says underscores the strength of its pension scheme and its capacity to provide long-term financial security for workers.
Adam Sulley, Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations and Benefits at SSNIT, said the Trust’s expanding asset base and investments made it a reliable option for employees seeking retirement security.
“SSNIT is a sure banker,” he said in an interview on the sidelines of a regional forum held in Sunyani. “Our asset performance has grown from GH¢20 billion in 2024 to GH¢25 billion in 2025.”
He urged workers to ensure that their employers regularly pay their monthly contributions, stressing that consistent contributions were key to securing future benefits.
The forum, organised in collaboration with the Trades Union Congress (TUC), formed part of a nationwide campaign to improve pension awareness and strengthen ties between SSNIT and organised labour.
Mr Sulley said the Trust had introduced digital platforms that allow contributors to access its services without visiting physical offices.
“With our digital channels, there is no need to walk to SSNIT offices. Members can access services from the comfort of their homes and workplaces,” he said.
He emphasised that the scheme guaranteed long-term financial security for workers and encouraged members to increase their contributions to maximise benefits.
Joshua Ansah praised SSNIT for the outreach programme, saying it had improved understanding of the scheme among workers and unions.
“This engagement has helped deepen transparency and accountability, and allowed workers to better understand SSNIT’s operations,” he said.
Mr Ansah also encouraged workers to join the scheme, noting that it offered dependable long-term financial protection.
The forum forms part of broader efforts by SSNIT to boost pension literacy nationwide and reinforce confidence in Ghana’s pension system.
