President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has designated the Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, as the Minister in charge of Pensions.
The appointment which is in accordance with section 211 of the National Pensions Act 2008 (ACT 766), will see the minister steering the affairs of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA) and the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) effective January 30, 2023.
Mr Baffour Awuah made this known when he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee, today, Wednesday, February 1, 2023.
