The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has paid a courtesy call on its oldest pensioner, Amadu Walah, at his residence in Cape Coast.
At 115 years old, Mr Walah is recognised as the oldest living pensioner on the SSNIT scheme, a milestone the Trust says reflects a lifetime of service and contribution to national development.
The visit forms part of SSNIT’s initiative to honour pensioners whose years of work have significantly impacted the country. The delegation was led by Director-General Kwesi Afreh Biney and included Deputy Director-General for Operations and Benefits Adam Sulley, along with other senior officials.
Mr Walah expressed appreciation for the gesture, encouraging younger generations to embrace hard work, live prudently, and plan effectively for retirement.
Family members, led by Nana Kwabena Osei Agyemang, also thanked SSNIT for the honour and urged the Trust to continue managing its assets responsibly to ensure the sustainability of the pension scheme.
In response, Mr Afreh Biney reaffirmed SSNIT’s commitment to prudent asset management, emphasising the importance of safeguarding the scheme for both current and future pensioners.
He also conveyed the Trust’s appreciation to Mr Walah for his service, noting that pensioners remain a vital part of SSNIT’s mission.
The delegation presented Mr Walah with a token of appreciation as a sign of recognition and solidarity.
