The management of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers has announced the  successful conclusion of its 2026 Pre-Retirement Seminar series, reaching about 3,714 pre-retirees across Lagos, Akure, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and Kano.

 

Spanning five of Nigeria’s most economically significant cities, the annual series has firmly established itself as one of the most impactful and far-reaching retirement education platforms in the country’s financial services industry.

 

The programme was crafted to give attendees a thorough and practical understanding of what it truly means to retire well in today’s Nigeria. One of the key elements of this year’s edition was a live interview panel session that   brought together representatives from Stanbic IBTC’s subsidiaries, speaking directly to the financial realities facing pre-retirees.

 

The panel addressed key market intelligence questions on pension management, income planning, and life after work. The open format encouraged substantive exchanges that helped participants gain clarity on complex decisions and understand the full range of options available to them as they transition out of active employment.

 

 

The Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, Olumide Oyetan described the seminar series  as reflecting the broader definition of what financial services should deliver.

 

“Success is not just measured by the assets we manage, but by the quality of life our clients are able to live in retirement. The strong engagement across all five cities highlights a growing appetite among Nigerians to take ownership of their retirement journey.

 

“For many, years of pension contributions have not always translated into clear understanding of their future. These seminars are designed to address that gap in a direct and practical way – ensuring every client leaves with clarity on their current position, available options, and the steps to take next,” he added.

 

The Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers’ boss also described the initiative as a clear expression of the company’s commitment to its clients,  while expressing the  company’s continued commitment in the project.
