What is known as Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) was formerly known as The National Provident Fund (NPF) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1961 to provide a poverty alleviation measure as required by convention No.102 of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The Scheme was targeted at protecting private sector employees (whose employers were then mostly multinationals) from financial difficulties in the event of either old age, cessation of employment, invalidity or death since most employers then did not have such provisions in their employment policies.
In a sense, the provident fund scheme was a compulsory savings scheme – i.e. defined contributed scheme. The Act provided for monthly contributions by members at the rate of 6% of basic salary subject to a maximum of N8.00 per month or a sum total of N96.00 per annum to be paid in equal proportion by the employer and the employee. In the event of emigration from the country, employment cessation, old age, invalidity or death, the cumulative amount contributed plus accrued interest (7% as at 1994) calculated on a compound basis, was paid to the contributor or his/her dependent as the case may be. The Act was later amended by another Act of Parliament in 1962 to cover only employees in the private sector who were not covered by the Pension Service Scheme.
The NSITF Act
In addition, the Fund, under Section seventy one of the Pension Reform Act, 2004, is to supply “every contributive national social security Insurance Services aside from Pension in accordance with the NSITF Act, 1993”. The Fund has commenced the method of fitting place the required infrastructure to implement social insurance profit to the aged, unemployed, kid welfare and also the physically challenged.
