What happened
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu launched the Minimum Pension Guarantee (MPG) in Abuja. The MPG sets N52,500 as the minimum monthly pension for eligible retirees under the Contributory Pension Scheme. This guarantee, which had remained unimplemented for 22 years, is described as a statutory right of workers, not a discretionary benefit.

The initiative addresses a longstanding gap in pension administration in Nigeria. By establishing the MPG, the federal government strengthens retirement security for workers. Tinubu directed that future administrations must sustain this minimum pension threshold.
The Tinubu administration has implemented reforms aimed at achieving economic recovery, following a broader economic empowerment program launched by President Tinubu.
