Organised Labour seeks a meeting with Akufo-Addo to discuss recent SSNIT operations

Organised Labour is requesting a meeting with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to address concerns regarding the recent operations of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).

Organised Labour has expressed grave concerns over reports that SSNIT might be unable to pay workers’ pensions after 2026 and the sale of its shares in four hotels, urging urgent solutions to protect workers’ welfare.

TUC Secretary-General, Dr. Yaw Baah, emphasized the importance of the President agreeing to a meeting to collaborate with relevant stakeholders in addressing these critical issues.

He stated, “We are raising very important issues, and we are an important stakeholder. I mean, they can’t ignore our concerns. I would like to assure all workers in this country that SSNIT is going to pay their pension when they retire.”

“That is why we want to meet the president because we have issues to address. And I am very confident that between the president, we, Organized Labour, the board, the Ministry of Employment, which is also in charge of pensions and NPRA, we come together, we will make sure SSNIT is running as expected.”
