The National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) has wrapped up the North East Regional phase of its Retirement Readiness Engagement and Sensitisation Exercise, which ran from 1st to 9th November 2026. This initiative, known as Project 54+, involved NASSIT members aged 54 and over, individuals nearing voluntary retirement, and HR professionals from both public and private sectors.
Engagements took place across six locations: Kono, Makeni, Magburaka, Kabala, Mongor, and Kamakwie. Project 54+ aims to prepare members for retirement through education and guidance, ensuring they have the necessary documentation to access social security benefits. The programme informs members of their rights and responsibilities under the scheme and helps facilitate a smoother transition into retirement.
The initiative also provides practical assistance by addressing documentation issues, clarifying retirement procedures, and resolving concerns that could delay benefit processing. It emphasizes the crucial role of HR personnel in assisting employees and fostering effective communication between members and NASSIT.
Following the successful completion of the North East phase, the Project 54+ team will move to the North West Region from 10th to 12th November 2026, with sessions planned in Lungi, Port Loko, and Kambia. NASSIT is committed to ensuring a seamless transition into retirement for its members.
