Nigeria plans game changing move to allow pfas invest in infrastructure
I think there may be a slight mistake in your statement. PFAs (Pension Fund Administrators) in Nigeria are already allowed to invest in infrastructure, but it's not a new plan. In fact, the Nigerian government has been encouraging PFAs to invest in infrastructure development to boost the economy.
In 2019, the National Pension Commission (PenCom) issued a circular allowing PFAs to invest up to 10% of their assets under management in infrastructure, including roads, bridges, airports, seaports, and other critical infrastructure projects. This move was aimed at increasing the returns on pension assets, promoting economic growth, and reducing the country's infrastructure deficit.
The PFAs have been actively investing in infrastructure projects, including the construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. For example, the Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria (PFOPAN) has reported that PFAs have invested over N1 trillion (approximately $2.7 billion) in infrastructure projects since 2019.
It's possible that you may be referring to a new development or initiative, but I'm not aware of any specific plan to allow PFAs to invest in infrastructure. If you could provide more information or context, I'd be happy to help clarify.
