This achievement is therefore a strong validation of the fact that Axis Pension Trust is on the right track. At the larger industry level, this is also exciting as it reflects positively on the success and high standards that private pension players have introduced to the pensions landscape in Ghana,” said Afriyie Oware, CEO of Axis Pension Trust.
