The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, FCMB Pensions, Mr Christopher Bajowa, says the company is creating more awareness on the Personal Pension Plan (PPP).

Bajowa said this while addressing journalists during a sensitisation walk as part of activities marking the 20-year anniversary of the Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) in Abuja on Monday.

He said that with over N1.1 trillion in AUM, over N200 billion paid to retirees and other beneficiaries, the company remained a strong, impactful institution.

“As we reflect on our journey, we are reminded that we will not be in business without our customers.

“Their trust, loyalty, and confidence in us over the years is the reason we exist, grow, and thrive.

“Every account opened, every contribution made, and every benefit paid represents a customer depending on us to deliver on our promise,” he said.

According to him, 20 years ago, the organisation began with a vision grounded with passion, innovation, and a belief that it could make a meaningful difference.

“What started as a small team with big dreams, and we have grown into a strong, dynamic, and respected force in our industry. We did not arrive here by chance,” he said.

Bajowa said that the road walk to Wuse market was a meaningful part of the celebration, serving three important purposes.

“It reinforces our commitment to healthy living, reminding us that our people, our staff are our greatest asset, and their ellbeing must always come first.

“It provides a platform to create awareness about the PPP, helping traders, artisans, and self-employed individuals understand that retirement planning is not only for salaried workers but for everyone.

“It allows us to connect directly with the communities we serve, strengthening trust, visibility, and our role as a responsible corporate citizen,” he said.

Bajowa said that the journey over the last two decades had been guided by core values of excellence, purpose beyond profit, innovation and customer focus.

He said that FCMB Pensions was incorporated in April 2005, and formally commenced operations few months after.

“While our anniversary date was earlier in the year, we deliberately chose to celebrate this milestone in December, a season of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness.

“It gives us the opportunity to look back on the year as a whole, to celebrate our achievements collectively, and reaffirm our commitment as we prepare for the future,” he said.
