The management of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding and improving the welfare of pensioners across the country, emphasizing its dedication to ensuring their long-term financial security and well-being.
According to management, SSNIT remains steadfast in fulfilling its core mandate of promoting economic stability and social justice by providing a safety net for workers in times of retirement, invalidity, or loss of a breadwinner.
Speaking at the launch of the 2025 Mobile Service in Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital, the Director-General of SSNIT, Kwesi Afreh Biney, disclosed that a total of GH₵5.19 billion had been paid in pensions and related benefits in October 2025 alone — a reflection, he said, of the Trust’s impact on lives, the dignity it upholds, and the confidence it continues to build among contributors.
Mr. Biney further highlighted SSNIT’s crucial role in national development, noting that the Trust remains the largest institutional investor among entities listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
Delivering the Special Guest of Honour address at the event, Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Awatey, commended SSNIT for its transparency and sustainability over the years.
She also urged the Trust to continue implementing innovative initiatives and transformative programmes that enhance Ghana’s pension system and broader socio-economic landscape.
