The Federal Government has ordered for screening of the Academic and NYSC certificates of staff of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), within the next eight weeks.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, who gave the order during the inauguration of the newly reconstituted board of the Fund yesterday, also charged them to ensure the full implementation of the NSITF Restructuring Report and conclusion of Electronic NSITF (E-NSITF) Phases I and II, as this would enable maximum collection of employees contributions from public and private sectors.
Ngige also charged the board to intensify its operational drive in the public sector, which is within the dimension of the formal economy, and ensure that national and sub-national government and states move towards universal coverage to all the workers in Nigeria.
