Top management of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), are gathered in Abuja to reflect on the performance of the Fund in the past one year and chart the course for 2026, through its annual Management Performance Review (MPR) holding from 12-13 February, 2026.
The Fund’s Managing Director and Chief Executive, Barrister Oluwaseun Falaye, urged the participants to see themselves as Stakeholders who must continue to drive the success of the organisations bearing in mind it affects all.
Reflecting on the importance of such appraisal, the MD said: “The session held last year in Lagos was a crucial moment for the Fund.It marked a shift in how we interrogate performance, moving away from assumptions and comfort zones toward clarity, responsibility, and measurable results. Decisions taken at that session set the tone for a more disciplined and outcome-driven approach to
management across the organisation.
“Since then, our actions have been purposeful. We have focused on strengthening operational structures, improving manpower alignment, expanding service presence, accelerating automation, and engaging more deliberately with key stakeholders. These steps reflect a clear strategic direction: repositioning NSITF as a responsive, credible, and value-driven social security institution that commands confidence and trust.”
Speaking to the theme of the MPR – Reinforcing NSITF’s Role in Building Trust and Delivering Value Towards Strengthening the Social Security System – Barrister Faleye said it “goes to the core of our mandate. Trust isearned through consistency, transparency, and professionalism.
“Value is demonstrated when our processes work, when decisions are fair, and when outcomes meet expectations. Every interaction with employers, every inspection, every claim processed, and every
decision taken by management either strengthens or weakens these two pillars.”
According to the MD, the meeting was expected to roll out performance targets for the future, even as he urged participants to hinge their presentation on facts and data and to be honest in self-appraisal.
In a welcome address, the Executive Director of Operations in the Fund, Mojisoluwa Ali-Macaulay, summed up the MPR providing “a structured opportunity to assess how far we have come, evaluate the effectiveness of our execution, and identify areas where greater focus and discipline are required. It is also a platform to align our operational priorities with the Fund’s strategic objectives for 2026.
