Tinubu Bows To Pressure, Appoints Chairman For PenCom
The Federal Government has reportedly appointed Mr Opeyemi Agbaje as the chairman of the National Pension Commission.
The appointment came after a threat by the Nigeria Labour Congress to embark on industrial action for not constituting the governing board of the National Pension Commission.
The news of Agbaje’s appointment was confirmed to The PUNCH by impeccable NLC sources, as well as some industry officials.
The Central Working Committee of the NLC had at the end of its August 13th meeting, demanded the constitution of the PenCom Governing Board in line with the law within seven working days.
The NLC also asked PenCom to submit to the NLC a full status report of the funds within these same seven days.
When The PUNCH reached the spokesman for PenCom, Mr Ibrahim Buwal, he said there was no official confirmation from the presidency yet as to Agbaje’s appointment.
