Protecting Workers Key to Sustainable Business Growth – NSITF MD

The Managing Director of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Mr Oluwaseun Faleye, has underscored the importance of protecting workers to foster sustainable, globally competitive businesses in Nigeria. Faleye made this assertion during his goodwill message at the recently held Grow Nigerian Conference 2026, which took place at the Ecobank Pan-African Centre in Abuja. According to a report by Vanguard News, the NSITF boss emphasized that Nigeria’s development relies on the security and well-being of its workers, who are the engine of progress for local enterprises. This stance highlights the crucial role that worker protection plays in nurturing a competitive and resilient business landscape in Nigeria. The NSITF, as a key institution dedicated to providing social security for Nigerian workers, is well-positioned to support this initiative. This call for worker protection comes at a time when many entrepreneurs are expanding their businesses, recognizing the need to prioritize the well-being of their workforce to ensure long-term success. For many Nigerian businesses, the challenge lies in striking a balance between growth and employee welfare, and Faleye’s message serves as a timely reminder of the importance of this delicate equilibrium.
