He added that SSNIT will continue investing prudently to secure sustainable returns that enhance the scheme’s assets and long-term viability.

Mr. Biney concluded by calling for continued collaboration with the media to educate the public and strengthen confidence in SSNIT. “Help us educate our people and grow our trust together. God bless each and every one of you, and God bless our home country,” he said.
