The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has reported an increase in its asset base, growing from GH¢20 billion in 2024 to GH¢25 billion in 2025. This development highlights the strength of SSNIT’s pension scheme and its ability to provide long-term financial security for workers. Adam Sulley, the Deputy Director-General responsible for Operations and Benefits at SSNIT, stated that the Trust’s expanding asset base and investments make it a reliable choice for employees seeking retirement security.
“SSNIT is a reliable institution,” he stated during an interview at a regional forum held in Sunyani. “Our asset performance increased from GH¢20 billion in 2024 to GH¢25 billion in 2025.” He urged workers to ensure that their employers consistently pay their monthly contributions, emphasising that regular contributions are essential for securing future benefits. The forum, organised in collaboration with the Trades Union Congress (TUC), was part of a nationwide campaign aimed at raising pension awareness and strengthening the relationship between SSNIT and organised labour.
Mr Sulley said the Trust had introduced digital platforms that allow contributors to access its services without visiting physical offices. “With our digital channels, there is no need to walk to SSNIT offices. Members can access services from the comfort of their homes and workplaces,” he said. He emphasised that the scheme guaranteed long-term financial security for workers and encouraged members to increase their contributions to maximise benefits.
Joshua Ansah praised SSNIT for the outreach programme, saying it had improved understanding of the scheme among workers and unions. “This engagement has helped deepen transparency and accountability, and allowed workers to better understand SSNIT’s operations,” he said. Mr Ansah also encouraged workers to join the scheme, noting that it offered dependable long-term financial protection.
The forum forms part of broader efforts by SSNIT to boost pension literacy nationwide and reinforce confidence in Ghana’s pension system.
