Nigeria’s pension industry is currently addressing a N99.28 billion backlog of uncredited pension contributions, as of March 2026. Data from the National Pension Commission (PenCom) reveals that nearly 70 percent of these funds, which were deducted from employee salaries but not credited to Retirement Savings Accounts, originate from the private sector. The backlog is primarily attributed to historical administrative inefficiencies, including invalid records and payroll mismanagement. While the introduction of the Pension Contribution Remittance System (PCRS) has improved processing times and validation rates to 95 percent, PenCom is now emphasizing stricter compliance and continued data cleansing to prevent further accumulation of uncredited funds.
