The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Premium Pension Limited, Wilson Ideva, has attributed the award it won at the just concluded Africa pension awards organised by World Pension Summit ‘Africa Special’ to prove of its first class service delivery to its contributors and retirees in the country.
It would be recalled that Premium pension during the week won the best Pension Fund Administrator in Africa with wide Coverage/Inclusion and the best performing PFA in Africa in the area of Corporate Governance Innovative.
He made this known during a press parley in Abuja, that the firm during the year embarked on projects that have helped promote the industry.
He said the awards will give assurances to Retirement Saving Account (RSA) holders and retirees that the firm is focused and committed to best practices.
The Premium Pension boss added that one of the policies of the firm is to build on laid down structures that will promote first class service delivery to clients.
He said : “We are not building individuals in Premium Pension, we are indeed, building structures. This is the challenge we have in Africa, where you have a super managing director and every other person is subjected to him and when he lives, the whole place collapses.
“I am just first among equals, I see my team members as my mate and every morning, I go to their offices to greet, thank them and to see he challenges they are having, and that gives me first hand view of what is going on.”
He assured that laid down structure of the company and team spirit helps the management tackling challenges immediately they arise.
Speaking further, Executive Director, Business Development & Investment, Kayode Akande, said the awards will enable them to reach out to prospective clients more easier.
His words: “The awards will tell enlightened clients about the institution they are dealing with. Remember, we are warehousing and managing the pension assets of people. People would want to be sure that the pension fund administrator that is managing their funds has got all the credibility.
He added that “It is beautiful that our industry has got credibility, the awards has now assured our clients that their PFA is termed to be the best in term of corporate governance. When you say somebody is good in corporate governance, what it means is that all the necessary structures in managing financial assets have been put in place. This is the level of confidence the awards would give to any customer that understands what they are all about,” he said.
