Wa, March 9, – The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) recorded total assets and investments exceeding GH₵25 billion at the close of 2025, reflecting significant growth from GH₵20.4 billion in 2024.
Mr. Kwesi Afreh Biney, Director-General of SSNIT, attributed the increase to strong performance across several investments and efforts to strengthen accountability and improve underperforming assets. Speaking at a stakeholder forum in Wa, organised with the Trades Union Congress (TUC), he highlighted key successes, including Labadi Beach Hotel generating GH₵77 million profit and La Palm Royal Beach Hotel posting GH₵1.7 million after previous losses.
The forum aimed to educate workers on the importance of pension contributions and gather feedback to guide future reforms. Mr. Biney outlined initiatives to improve service delivery, including enhanced digital channels, virtual branches, and a “co-location” strategy allowing SSNIT to operate within selected banking halls for wider accessibility.
He encouraged all workers, in both formal and informal sectors, to actively contribute to SSNIT, describing it as a national asset that ensures financial security and dignity in retirement.
Mr. Joshua Ansah, TUC Secretary-General, underscored the forum’s role in advocating pension awareness and called on all Ghanaian workers to enroll and contribute regularly.
