Oluwaseun Faleye, the newly appointed Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), has pledged to implement comprehensive reforms aimed at enhancing the agency’s performance. In his inaugural address, Faleye, alongside the Executive Director of Operations, Mojisolaoluwa Alli-Macaulay, emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts to achieve sustainable growth within the organization.

Acknowledging the challenges ahead, he expressed optimism and determination, drawing on his experience and commitment to advancing NSITF’s mandate as the nation’s premier social security agency.

We aim to create a vibrant NSITF that delivers its mandate to key stakeholders, especially workers, employers, and the fund’s staff,” Faleye stated.
He highlighted his intention to leave the organization in a better state than he found it, emphasizing the need for organizational restructuring to enhance service delivery efficiency. Faleye plans to conduct a thorough needs assessment across departments to chart a path forward.
