Dr. Maurice Nnamdi Mbaeri, Chairman of the Summit's Organising Committee, said the breadth of institutional interest signals a shift in how Nigeria approaches the retirement transition of its senior workforce. He described the involvement of organisations across both sectors as evidence that the country is beginning to take retirement planning more seriously.
