The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has paid a courtesy call on its oldest pensioner, Amadu Walah, at his residence in Cape Coast on Tuesday.
The 115-year-old is recognised as the oldest living SSNIT pensioner on the Scheme, a remarkable milestone that reflects a lifetime of grace and dedicated service to national development.
The visit forms part of SSNIT’s efforts to honour and celebrate pensioners whose years of service have contributed significantly to the country’s development.
The delegation was led by the Director-General of the Trust, Kwesi Afreh Biney, which also included the Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations and Benefits, Adam Sulley, and some executive members of SSNIT.
Mr Walah welcomed the delegation and expressed appreciation for the gesture. He emphasised the importance of hard work, prudent living and planning effectively for retirement.
The family of Mr Walah was led by Nana Kwabena Osei Agyemang, “Asantefuo Hene” of the Ogua Traditional Area, who expressed gratitude to SSNIT for the honour.
He called on the Trust to continue managing its assets prudently to ensure the Scheme is sustained for generations to come.
Responding, the Director-General assured that SSNIT remains committed to sound and responsible management of the Trust’s assets, noting that safeguarding the scheme for both current and future pensioners is a top priority.
“We will continue to manage the assets of the Trust diligently to sustain the Scheme and protect the interests of contributors and pensioners,” he said.
Mr Afreh Biney also conveyed SSNIT’s appreciation to Mr Walah for his service to the country, adding that pensioners remain an integral part of SSNIT.
The delegation presented Mr Walah with a token as a sign of appreciation and solidarity.
