The Minister for Employment, Labour Relations, and Pensions, Hon. Ignatius Baffour Awuah, has announced the extension of the tenure of the current Board of Trustees of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). The Board, whose tenure expired on August 9, 2024, will now continue in office until January 6, 2025.
This decision was made in accordance with Section 35 (1) and (2) of the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766), which provides the legal basis for the extension. The announcement was made during a meeting with the SSNIT Board of Trustees held on Thursday, November 28, 2024, at the Ministry’s Conference Hall.
Hon. Awuah explained that it was more prudent to allow the existing Board to continue their work rather than reconstituting a new one at this time. He emphasized that the extension aligns with the tenure of the President, ensuring continuity and stability in the governance of SSNIT during this period.
