On October 29, 2026, President Bola Tinubu announced a novel initiative called PenCare, designed to offer free healthcare services to low-income pensioners. This development was reported by Vanguard News, with the President being represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) during the unveiling. According to the report, the National Pension Commission (PenCom) has set a recapitalisation deadline for June 2027. However, it remains uncertain how this new healthcare program will impact other pensioners or the overall healthcare landscape in Nigeria. For now, the President’s assurance is that no pensioner will be abandoned.
