Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Wrap Up 2026 Retirement Education Series Across Five Nigerian Cities
Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, has successfully wrapped up its 2026 Pre-Retirement Seminar series, engaging approximately 3,714 pre-retirees across Lagos, Akure, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and Kano.
Covering five of Nigeria’s most economically vital cities, this annual programme has cemented its position as one of the most influential and far-reaching platforms for retirement education within the nation’s financial services sector.
The seminar series was designed to equip attendees with a comprehensive and practical understanding of what it truly means to retire well in today’s Nigeria. A highlight of this year’s edition was a live interview panel session featuring representatives from Stanbic IBTC’s subsidiaries, who spoke directly to the financial realities faced by pre-retirees. The panel addressed key market intelligence questions surrounding pension management, income planning, and life after work. The open format fostered meaningful exchanges, enabling participants to gain clarity on complex decisions and explore the full spectrum of options available to them as they transition out of active employment.
A dedicated health talk also formed part of the programme, addressing an often-overlooked aspect of retirement planning: the vital importance of physical wellbeing in sustaining a fulfilling post-work life. Throughout the day, carefully curated interludes showcased Stanbic IBTC’s extensive product and service offerings, ensuring attendees left equipped with the knowledge and resources to take proactive steps towards securing their retirement.
Olumide Oyetan, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, stated: “This seminar series reflects our broader definition of what financial services should deliver. Success is not just measured by the assets we manage, but by the quality of life our clients are able to live in retirement. The strong engagement across all five cities highlights a growing appetite among Nigerians to take ownership of their retirement journey.”
Olumide further added, “For many, years of pension contributions have not always translated into clear understanding of their future. These seminars are designed to address that gap in a direct and practical way – ensuring every client leaves with clarity on their current position, available options, and the steps to take next. This initiative is a clear expression of our commitment to our clients, and one we will continue to invest in, because they deserve nothing less.”
As awareness around retirement planning continues to develop across Nigeria’s workforce, the Pre-Retirement Seminar reaffirms Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers’ unwavering commitment to ensuring that no client approaches retirement without the necessary knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate it successfully.
