The Managing Director/Chief Executive of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Barr. Oluwaseun Faleye, has called for stronger collaboration amon government, employers and workers to drive sustainable economic growth.
Faleye made the call on Monday in Abuja while delivering a goodwill message at the 5th annual summit of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA).
The NSITF boss described the theme of the summit, “Leveraging Reforms and ESG for Enterprise Competitiveness and Inclusive National Growth” as timely as businesses navigate policy reforms in the new economic realities.
“Across the country, businesses are adapting to reforms, responding to new realities and seeking innovative ways to remain competitive while creating value for society,” Faleye said.
Referencing a Nigerian adage, “The left hand washes the right, and the right hand washes the left,” he stressed that “lasting progress is built on partnership.”
According to him, “Government, employers and workers each have a role to play, and when we work together with trust and shared purpose, everyone benefits,” noting that at NSITF, worker protection and enterprise competitiveness are viewed as complementary goals.
“As Nigeria pursues economic reforms, we must remain deliberate in ensuring that growth is inclusive and that no segment of our workforce is left behind,” he stated.
